Hi Cong, I am wondering if making the bindcount or refcount atomic would help? How does this bug get created? i.e the RTNL is still around. Why is this specific to mirred only? cheers, jamal On 10/01/15 14:37, Cong Wang wrote:After commit 1ce87720d456 ("net: sched: make cls_u32 lockless") we began to release tc actions in a RCU callback. However, mirred action relies on RTNL lock to protect the global mirred_list, therefore we could have a race condition between RCU callback and netdevice event, which caused a list corruption as reported by Vinson. Instead of relying on RTNL lock, introduce a spinlock to protect this list. Note, in non-bind case, it is still called with RTNL lock, therefore should disable BH too.
