Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 06/11] net: designate queue -> napi linking as "ops protected"
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 15:45:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250324224537.248800-7-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250324224537.248800-1-kuba@kernel.org>

netdev netlink is the only reader of netdev_{,rx_}queue->napi,
and it already holds netdev->lock. Switch protection of
the writes to netdev->lock to "ops protected".

The expectation will be now that accessing queue->napi
will require netdev->lock for "ops locked" drivers, and
rtnl_lock for all other drivers.

Current "ops locked" drivers don't require any changes.
gve and netdevsim use _locked() helpers right next to
netif_queue_set_napi() so they must be holding the instance
lock. iavf doesn't call it. bnxt is a bit messy but all paths
seem locked.
