Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 14/17] sfc: remove rcu_read_lock() around XDP program invocation
Date: Wed,  9 Jun 2021 12:33:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210609103326.278782-15-toke@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210609103326.278782-1-toke@redhat.com>

The sfc driver has rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around XDP
program invocations. However, the actual lifetime of the objects referred
by the XDP program invocation is longer, all the way through to the call to
xdp_do_flush(), making the scope of the rcu_read_lock() too small. This
turns out to be harmless because it all happens in a single NAPI poll
cycle (and thus under local_bh_disable()), but it makes the rcu_read_lock()
misleading.

Rather than extend the scope of the rcu_read_lock(), just get rid of it
entirely. With the addition of RCU annotations to the XDP_REDIRECT map
types that take bh execution into account, lockdep even understands this to
be safe, so there's really no reason to keep it around.
