Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/4] net: dst: introduce dst->dev_rcu
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 15:28:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901192838.1439895-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026083117-magnitude-talisman-5d78@gregkh>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit caedcc5b6df1b2e2b5f39079e3369c1d4d5c5f50 ]

Followup of commit 88fe14253e18 ("net: dst: add four helpers
to annotate data-races around dst->dev").

We want to gradually add explicit RCU protection to dst->dev,
including lockdep support.

Add an union to alias dst->dev_rcu and dst->dev.

Add dst_dev_net_rcu() helper.

Fixes: 4a6ce2b6f2ec ("net: introduce a new function dst_dev_put()")
