From 2d0dafb0152a6ac61cd31d38c3ef3d49463b6a57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dingtianhong Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:09:12 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: remove bond read lock for bond_alb_monitor() The bond slave list may change when the monitor is running, the slave list is no longer protected by bond->lock, only protected by rtnl lock(), so we have 3 ways to modify it: 1.add bond_master_upper_dev_link() and bond_upper_dev_unlink() in bond->lock, but it is unsafe to call call_netdevice_notifiers() in write lock. 2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the existing rtnl lock(). 3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored. so I remove the bond->lock and move the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.
