Subject: [PATCH 3.4 85/91] ipv4: avoid parallel route cache gc executions
From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <mleitner@...hat.com>
3.4.105-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
When rt_intern_hash() has to deal with neighbour cache overflowing,
it triggers the route cache garbage collector in an attempt to free
some references on neighbour entries.
Such call cannot be done async but should also not run in parallel with
an already-running one, so that they don't collapse fighting over the
hash lock entries.
This patch thus blocks parallel executions with spinlocks:
- A call from worker and from rt_intern_hash() are not the same, and
cannot be merged, thus they will wait each other on rt_gc_lock.
- Calls to gc from rt_intern_hash() may happen in parallel but we must
wait for it to finish in order to try again. This dedup and
synchrinozation is then performed by the locking just before calling
__do_rt_garbage_collect().
