From d7fb60b9cafb982cb2e46a267646a8dfd4f2e5da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2017 16:33:30 -0700 Subject: net_sched: get rid of tcfa_rcu gen estimator has been rewritten in commit 1c0d32fde5bd ("net_sched: gen_estimator: complete rewrite of rate estimators"), the caller is no longer needed to wait for a grace period. So this patch gets rid of it. This also completely closes a race condition between action free path and filter chain add/remove path for the following patch. Because otherwise the nested RCU callback can't be caught by rcu_barrier(). Please see also the comments in code.
