net: caif: remove unused hardirq.h

2018-01-09T01:59:25+00:00

Preempt counter APIs have been split out, currently, hardirq.h just includes irq_enter/exit APIs which are not used by caif at all. So, remove the unused hardirq.h. Signed-off-by: Yang Shi Cc: Dmitry Tarnyagin Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

2017-06-07T19:53:24+00:00

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: caif: Remove unused stats member from struct chnl_net

The stats member of struct chnl_net is used nowhere in the code, so it might as well be removed. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

caif: remove wrong dev_net_set() call

2015-01-29T22:20:02+00:00

src_net points to the netns where the netlink message has been received. This netns may be different from the netns where the interface is created (because the user may add IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]). In this case, src_net is the link netns. It seems wrong to override the netns in the newlink() handler because if it was not already src_net, it means that the user explicitly asks to create the netdevice in another netns.

caif: __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface

2014-01-15T02:50:47+00:00

The following call chains indicate that chnl_net_open() is under rtnl_lock protection as __dev_open() is protected by rtnl_lock. So if __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() is used to find interface handler in it, this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter. __dev_open() chnl_net_open() Cc: Dmitry Tarnyagin Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: David S.
