Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] net: rmnet: no longer rely on RTNL in rmnet_fill_info()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:22:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916132231.1780091-4-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916132231.1780091-1-edumazet@google.com>
rmnet_fill_info() used rmnet_get_port_rtnl(), and thus required
RTNL.
Now that priv->mux_id and port->data_format are properly
annotated, rmnet_fill_info() can simply fetch the port under
rcu_read_lock().
rmnet_get_port_rcu() was only used from the data path and thus
used rcu_dereference_bh(). Relax its lockdep condition so that it
can also be called from process context under a plain
rcu_read_lock(), and use it from rmnet_fill_info().
Note that rmnet_get_port_rcu() checks real_dev->rx_handler before
returning rx_handler_data: this is what makes the lockless lookup
safe against rmnet_unregister_real_device(), which clears
rx_handler, waits for a grace period in
netdev_rx_handler_unregister(), and only then frees the port.
While at it, add missing const qualifiers.
