Subject: [PATCH nf 2/2] netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prevent soft lockup during gc walk
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 20:02:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303190218.19781-3-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303190218.19781-1-fw@strlen.de>
The gc scan+shrinking process can take a very long time.
Add an upper ceiling: If we've queued up some elements for removal
already give up after spending up to 10s on gc compaction.
Note this intentionally doesn't add a call to cond_resched();
PREEMPT_NONE and _VOLUNTARY preemption models have been removed
recently.
Reported-by: Yiming Qian <yimingqian591@gmail.com>
Fixes: 3c4287f62044 ("nf_tables: Add set type for arbitrary concatenation of ranges")
