net/sched: qdisc_qstats_qlen_backlog() runs locklessly

2026-05-15T00:05:20+00:00

qdisc_qstats_qlen_backlog() can be called without qdisc spinlock being held. Use qdisc_qlen_lockless() instead of qdisc_qlen(). Add a const qualifier to its first parameter (struct Qdisc *sch).

net/sched: annotate data-races around sch->qstats.backlog

2026-05-12T01:28:07+00:00

Add qstats_backlog_sub() and qstats_backlog_add() helpers and use them instead of open-coding them. These helpers use WRITE_ONCE() to prevent store-tearing. Also use WRITE_ONCE() in fq_reset() and qdisc_reset() when sch->qstats.backlog is cleared.

net/sched: rename qstats_overlimit_inc() to qstats_cpu_overlimit_inc()

2026-04-29T23:42:44+00:00

qstats_overlimit_inc() is only used to increment per cpu overlimits. It can use this_cpu_inc() to avoid this_cpu_ptr() extra cost and avoid potential store tearing. Change qstats_overlimit_inc() name and its argument type. Also add a WRITE_ONCE() in qdisc_qstats_overlimit() to prevent store tearing. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.0 vmlinux.1 add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/7 up/down: 0/-91 (-91) Function old new delta tcf_skbmod_act 772 764 -8 tcf_police_act 733 725 -8 tcf_gate_act 318 310 -8 tcf_pedit_act 1295 1284 -11 tcf_mirred_to_dev 1126 1114 -12 tcf_ife_act 1077 1061 -16 tcf_mirred_act 1324 1296 -28 Total: Before=24274627, After=24274536, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260428070919.3109557-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
