Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/4] net: shaper: drop redundant xa_lock() bracketing
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 11:32:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609183224.1108521-2-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609183224.1108521-1-kuba@kernel.org>
The shaper insertion and update code takes xa_lock() explicitly.
Paolo explained that the locking was purely to avoid re-taking
the lock in loops. But it may be mis-read as if it was expecting
readers to be fenced off by xa_lock. Readers of XArray are purely
under RCU. Remove explicit taking of xa_lock().
All writers to hierarchy->shapers are serialized by the netdev
instance lock (or run after netdev is made inaccessible to readers).
