From de5df63228fcfbd5bb7fd883774c18fec9e61f12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Fastabend Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2014 21:50:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: sched: cls_u32 changes to knode must appear atomic to readers Changes to the cls_u32 classifier must appear atomic to the readers. Before this patch if a change is requested for both the exts and ifindex, first the ifindex is updated then the exts with tcf_exts_change(). This opens a small window where a reader can have a exts chain with an incorrect ifindex. This violates the the RCU semantics. Here we resolve this by always passing u32_set_parms() a copy of the tc_u_knode to work on and then inserting it into the hash table after the updates have been successfully applied. Tested with the following short script: #tc filter add dev p3p2 parent 8001:0 protocol ip prio 99 handle 1: \ u32 divisor 256 #tc filter add dev p3p2 parent 8001:0 protocol ip prio 99 \ u32 link 1: hashkey mask ffffff00 at 12 \ match ip src 192.168.8.0/2 #tc filter add dev p3p2 parent 8001:0 protocol ip prio 102 \ handle 1::10 u32 classid 1:2 ht 1: \ match ip src 192.168.8.0/8 match ip tos 0x0a 1e #tc filter change dev p3p2 parent 8001:0 protocol ip prio 102 \ handle 1::10 u32 classid 1:2 ht 1: \ match ip src 1.1.0.0/8 match ip tos 0x0b 1e CC: Eric Dumazet CC: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
