Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/5] bonding: remove bond read lock for bond_loadbalance_arp_mon()
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:09:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52688F5D.1010400@huawei.com> (raw)

The bond slave list may change when the monitor is running, the slave list is no longer
protected by bond->lock, only protected by rtnl lock(), so we has 3 way to modify it:
1.add bond_master_upper_dev_link() and bond_upper_dev_unlink() in bond->lock, but it is unsafe
to call call_netdevice_notifiers() in write lock.
2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the exist rtnl lock().
3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to
bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored.
so I remove the bond->lock and add the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.
