Subject: [PATCH] net: convert netdev_nl_sock bindings list to xarray
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 06:57:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810065759.3735934-1-shivajikant@google.com> (raw)
netdev_nl_sock previously used a struct list_head bindings to keep
track of active netdev netlink bindings, protected by a per-socket
struct mutex lock (priv->lock).
Since list modifications and iterations are not concurrency-safe,
priv->lock was introduced to serialize operations on priv->bindings.
However, xarray manages its own internal locking (xa_lock) for store,
erase, and iteration operations.
Convert bindings in struct netdev_nl_sock from struct list_head to
struct xarray and remove priv->lock. This simplifies the code by
removing explicit mutex locking in netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit(),
netdev_nl_bind_tx_doit(), and socket initialization/teardown functions.
