Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/9] vxlan: move VXLAN_F_MDB to struct vxlan_dev flags
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 12:08:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903120840.1024153-6-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903120840.1024153-1-edumazet@google.com>

VXLAN_F_MDB is an internal runtime state flag indicating whether any
MDB entries are configured on the device, rather than a netlink
configuration attribute.

In preparation for converting vxlan->cfg to an RCU-protected pointer,
move VXLAN_F_MDB from struct vxlan_config to a dedicated 'flags' field
in struct vxlan_dev as VXLAN_DEV_F_MDB, using atomic bitops (set_bit(),
clear_bit(), test_bit()) to avoid KCSAN data races between the TX path
and RTNL operations.

This avoids having to dynamically reallocate and publish a new
vxlan_config structure via RCU whenever the first MDB entry is added
or the last one is removed, and prevents potential memory allocation
failures during MDB teardown under memory pressure.
