Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/5] ipv4: use rcu in ip_fib_check_default()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 23:59:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917035920.4132418-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917035920.4132418-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
[ Upstream commit fc38b28365e5f1396209d2878a34065468765087 ]
fib_info_devhash[] is not resized in fib_info_hash_move().
fib_nh structs are already freed after an rcu grace period.
This will allow to remove fib_info_lock in the following patch.
