Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 02/10] ipv4: fib_rules: Make the need for fib_unmerge() explicit.
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 18:10:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629181226.1929658-3-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629181226.1929658-1-kuniyu@google.com>

IPv4 local and main route tables are merged by default to avoid
unnecessary rule lookups.

When the first IPv4 rule is created, fib_unmerge() splits the
two tables.

However, fib4_rule_configure() currently always calls fib_unmerge(),
and even fetching a table via fib_get_table() requires RTNL (or RCU).

We will drop RTNL from fib_newrule() if not needed.

Let's call fib_unmerge() only once for the first rule.
