Subject: Question on ipmr.c locking in 2.6.25
Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 14:38:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <483DD0EE.1020700@candelatech.com> (raw)
It looks like this method can return without unlocking the
mrt_lock or mfc_unres_lock. Is this a bug, or am I just
confused about how it is supposed to work?
I haven't reproduced any problem..just staring at the code
while trying to add support for multiple routing tables...
static struct mfc_cache *ipmr_mfc_seq_idx(struct ipmr_mfc_iter *it, loff_t pos)
{
struct mfc_cache *mfc;
it->cache = mfc_cache_array;
read_lock(&mrt_lock);
for (it->ct = 0; it->ct < MFC_LINES; it->ct++)
for (mfc = mfc_cache_array[it->ct]; mfc; mfc = mfc->next)
if (pos-- == 0)
return mfc;
read_unlock(&mrt_lock);
it->cache = &mfc_unres_queue;
spin_lock_bh(&mfc_unres_lock);
for (mfc = mfc_unres_queue; mfc; mfc = mfc->next)
if (pos-- == 0)
return mfc;
spin_unlock_bh(&mfc_unres_lock);
it->cache = NULL;
return NULL;
}
Thanks,
Ben
