From 4eb14e3fc6197b7205069ed4e2b31eafa11a0697 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Toke=20H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen?= Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2021 18:06:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sfc: Remove rcu_read_lock() around XDP program invocation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The sfc driver has rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around XDP program invocations. However, the actual lifetime of the objects referred by the XDP program invocation is longer, all the way through to the call to xdp_do_flush(), making the scope of the rcu_read_lock() too small. This turns out to be harmless because it all happens in a single NAPI poll cycle (and thus under local_bh_disable()), but it makes the rcu_read_lock() misleading. Rather than extend the scope of the rcu_read_lock(), just get rid of it entirely. With the addition of RCU annotations to the XDP_REDIRECT map types that take bh execution into account, lockdep even understands this to be safe, so there's really no reason to keep it around.
