Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 11/14] ipvlan: Convert ipvl_port.count to refcount_t.
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 21:41:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701214334.266991-12-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701214334.266991-1-kuniyu@google.com>
struct ipvl_port is shared between a lower device and its upper
ipvlan devices.
While each upper device can always access ipvl_port safely via
ipvlan_dev.port, the lower device relies on RTNL to access it
via net_device.rx_handler_data.
Once RTNL is removed, the lower device cannot read ipvl_port safely
in ipvlan_device_event() because the port could be freed concurrently
and net_device.rx_handler_data is set to NULL if the last ipvlan
device in another namespace is unregistered.
Let's convert ipvl_port.count to refcount_t and use RCU along with
refcount_inc_not_zero() in ipvlan_device_event().
netdev_put() in ipvlan_port_destroy() is also moved down after
cancel_work_sync(), which is the last user of port->dev.
Note that ipvlan->port is now set in ipvlan_init() so that it can
be used in ipvlan_uninit(), instead of ipvlan_port_get_rtnl()
(rtnl_dereference()).
