Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: bridge: remove stale rcu_barrier() in br_multicast_dev_del()
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 09:55:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519095540.2643318-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
This rcu_barrier() came from a time call_rcu() calls were used in
net/bridge/br_multicast.c.
Now kfree_rcu() is there, we can remove this problematic rcu_barrier()
which causes extreme RTNL pressure in many syzbot reports.
INFO: task syz-executor:77945 is blocked on a mutex likely owned by task kworker/u1024:5:36537.
