Actually, this change is a result of discussion in code review of my
patch set that removes RTNL dependency from TC rules update path.

Thank you for reviewing my code!

Looks much better now!

I _guess_ we perhaps can even get rid of this spinlock since most of
the callers hold RTNL lock, not sure about the dump() path where
RTNL might be removed recently.

[PATCH net-next v3] net: sched: don't disable bh when accessing action idr

2018-05-23 Thread Vlad Buslov
Initial net_device implementation used ingress_lock spinlock to synchronize
ingress path of device. This lock was used in both process and bh context.
In some code paths action map lock was obtained while holding ingress_lock.
Commit e1e992e52faa ("[NET_SCHED] protect action config/dump from irqs")
modified actions to always disable bh, while using action map lock, in
order to prevent deadlock on ingress_lock in softirq. This lock was removed
in commit 555353cfa1ae ("netdev: The ingress_lock member is no longer
needed.").

Another reason to disable bh was filters delete code, that released actions
in rcu callback. This code was changed to release actions from workqueue
context in patch set "net_sched: close the race between call_rcu() and
cleanup_net()".

With these changes it is no longer necessary to continue disable bh while
accessing action map.

Replace all action idr spinlock usage with regular calls that do not
disable bh.
