Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 4/5] inet: frags: save a pair of atomic operations in reassembly
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:49:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821144926.3428433-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821144926.3428433-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit ca0359df45a55a9eb4d6dc09a481064abf78320f ]

As mentioned in commit 648700f76b03 ("inet: frags:
use rhashtables for reassembly units"):

  A followup patch will even remove the refcount hold/release
  left from prior implementation and save a couple of atomic
  operations.

This patch implements this idea, seven years later.
