No it isn't. The regression is caused by unintentional change of return
value for never scheduled callout. The fix is now being tested, see PR 210884.
The piece of ND6 code that Hans quotes isn't affected by change of return
value for scheduled+running callout, since ND6 doesn't create callouts in
this tricky state.
Hi,
Can you explain this a bit more Gleb? Can't user-space tools like
"route" delete LLE entries at _any_ time?
From what I can see, there is nothing preventing
"nd6_llinfo_settimer_locked()" running concurrently with
"nd6_llinfo_timer()". Even though the delay is in the hz range, this
doesn't prevent the race I'm pointing at.
And what about the pending check in "kern/subr_taskqueue.c"?
Won't it be off-by one in case the callout is scheduled when it is being
serviced?
pending = !!(callout_stop(&timeout_task->c) > 0);
How this cannot happen?
