From eb9fa4b0199f62df3d174d32b4bd534df8ba4533 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dingtianhong Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:20:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: rebuild the lock use for bond_activebackup_arp_mon() The bond_activebackup_arp_mon() use the bond lock for read to protect the slave list, it is no effect, and the RTNL is only called for bond_ab_arp_commit() and peer notify, for the performance better, use RCU to replace with the bond lock, to the bond slave list need to called in RCU, add a new bond_first_slave_rcu() to get the first slave in RCU protection. In bond_ab_arp_probe(), the bond->current_arp_slave may changd if bond release slave, just like: bond_ab_arp_probe() bond_release() cpu 0 cpu 1 ... if (bond->current_arp_slave...) ... ... bond->current_arp_slave = NULl bond->current_arp_slave->dev->name ... So the current_arp_slave need to dereference in the section.
