From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Timo Teras Subject: [PATCH 3/4] xfrm: remove policy lock when accessing policy->walk.dead Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:17:05 +0300 Message-ID: <1270030626-16687-5-git-send-email-timo.teras@iki.fi> References: <1270030626-16687-1-git-send-email-timo.teras@iki.fi> Cc: Herbert Xu , Timo Teras To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mail-ew0-f220.google.com ([209.85.219.220]:34536 "EHLO mail-ew0-f220.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S933203Ab0CaKRb (ORCPT ); Wed, 31 Mar 2010 06:17:31 -0400 Received: by mail-ew0-f220.google.com with SMTP id 20so1817152ewy.1 for ; Wed, 31 Mar 2010 03:17:30 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <1270030626-16687-1-git-send-email-timo.teras@iki.fi> Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: All of the code considers ->dead as a hint that the cached policy needs to get refreshed. The read side can just drop the read lock without any side effects. The write side needs to make sure that it's written only exactly once. Only possible race is at xfrm_policy_kill(). This is fixed by checking result of __xfrm_policy_unlink() when needed. It will always succeed if the policy object is looked up from the hash list (so some checks are removed), but it needs to be checked if we are trying to unlink policy via a reference (appropriate checks added). Since policy->walk.dead is written exactly once, it no longer needs to be protected with a write lock.
