Subject: [PATCH v7 0/6] kernfs: Use RCU to access kernfs_node::{parent|name}.
Hi,
This started as a bug report by Hillf Danton and aims to access
kernfs_node::{name|parent} with RCU to avoid the lock during
kernfs_path_from_node().
I've split the individual fixes in separate patches (#1 to #4). I've
also split the ::parent and ::name RCU conversation into a single patch
(#5 and #6).
v6…v7 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250130140207.1914339-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de/
- Rebase on v6.14-rc1
v5…v6 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250128084226.1499291-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de/
- s/rdt_kn_get_name/rdt_kn_name/
- s/rdt_get_kn_parent_priv/rdt_kn_parent_priv/
- s/kn_get_priv/kn_priv/
- The comment, that has been removed in kernfs_put(), is back.
- Using rcu_access_pointer() in kernfs_activate_one() and kernfs_dir_pos()
instead of kernfs_parent() where the pointer is not dereferenced but
just compared.
v4…v5 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250124174614.866884-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de/
- rdtgroup:
- Add a comment to rdt_get_kn_parent_priv() regarding lifetime of
parent.
- Move individual rcu_dereference_check() invocations into
rdt_kn_parent() with a comment on lifetime.
- Use rcu_access_pointer() in kernfs_to_rdtgroup() instead
rcu_dereference_check(, true)
- s/kernfs_rcu_get_name/kernfs_rcu_name/
- Move all rcu_dereference_check() within kernfs into kernfs_parent()
and extend its checks to have all cases in one spot. Document why
each case makes sense.
- kernfs_notify_workfn(): Do unlocks in the reverse order of locks.
- Add kernfs_root_flags() and use it in cgroup's kn_get_priv() to
check the right KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT flag.
