Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] macvlan: RTNL-less macvlan_fill_info()
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 08:22:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701082214.2974946-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
This series removes the RTNL lock dependency from macvlan_fill_info(),
allowing it to run under RCU read lock.
The first patch annotates data races on 'mode' and 'flags' fields which
are accessed locklessly in the RX/TX paths.
The second patch transitions macvlan_fill_info() to RCU, adding necessary
annotations for other fields and handling concurrent updates to the MAC
address list by computing the count dynamically.
Eric Dumazet (2):
macvlan: annotate data-races around vlan->mode and vlan->flags
macvlan: no longer rely on RTNL in macvlan_fill_info()
