Subject: [PATCH 13/20] xfrm: policy: fix sparse warnings in xfrm_policy_{init,fini}
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:33:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323083440.2741292-14-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323083440.2741292-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net>
In xfrm_policy_init:
add rcu_assign_pointer to fix warning:
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4238:29: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4238:29: expected struct hlist_head [noderef] __rcu *table
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4238:29: got struct hlist_head *
add rcu_dereference_protected to silence warning:
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4265:36: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4265:36: expected struct hlist_head *n
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4265:36: got struct hlist_head [noderef] __rcu *table
The netns is being created, no concurrent access is possible yet.
In xfrm_policy_fini, net is going away, there shouldn't be any
concurrent changes to the hashtables, so we can use
rcu_dereference_protected to silence warnings:
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4291:17: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4291:17: expected struct hlist_head const *h
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4291:17: got struct hlist_head [noderef] __rcu *table
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4292:36: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4292:36: expected struct hlist_head *n
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:4292:36: got struct hlist_head [noderef] __rcu *table
