Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 3/5] net: Track state in ops_undo_list().
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:23:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927202429.2452589-4-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927202429.2452589-1-kuniyu@google.com>
We will call rt_flush_dev() and rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev()
from ->pre_exit_batch().
Then, we want them to return early when called again from
->exit_rtnl() or default_device_exit_batch().
However, we cannot simply return early when !check_net(net).
In the following cases, even if check_net(net) is false,
we cannot skip rt_flush_dev() / rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev():
1. some ->pre_exit() call unregister_netdevice() before
fib_net_ops (e.g. ovs_pre_exit_net(), l2tp_pre_exit_net()).
2. ->dellink() could call unregister_netdevice() for another
netdev in a dying netns queued for the next cleanup_net()
batch, for which ->pre_exit_batch() has not been called
yet (e.g. veth).
Thus, we need a clear flag to indicate that ->pre_exit_batch()
has already been called.
Let's add net->undo_state and update it only for dying netns.
