From 0115e8e30d6fcdd4b8faa30d3ffd90859a591f51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:19:46 +0000 Subject: net: remove delay at device dismantle I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues. These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls. We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER. As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed device swap on busy dst. To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock. Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care ! Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after IP cache removal.
