Message-Id: <201002181645.36426.arnd@arndb.de>

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] macvtap: rework object lifetime rules
This reworks the change done by the previous patch
in a more complete way.
The original macvtap code has a number of problems
resulting from the use of RCU for protecting the
access to struct macvtap_queue from open files.
This includes
- need for GFP_ATOMIC allocations for skbs
- potential deadlocks when copy_*_user sleeps
- inability to work with vhost-net
Changing the lifetime of macvtap_queue to always
depend on the open file solves all these. The
RCU reference simply moves one step down to
the reference on the macvlan_dev, which we
only need for nonblocking operations.

/*
* RCU usage:
- * The macvtap_queue is referenced both from the chardev struct file
- * and from the struct macvlan_dev using rcu_read_lock.
+ * The macvtap_queue and the macvlan_dev are loosely coupled, the
+ * pointers from one to the other can only be read while rcu_read_lock
+ * or macvtap_lock is held.
*
- * We never actually update the contents of a macvtap_queue atomically
- * with RCU but it is used for race-free destruction of a queue when
- * either the file or the macvlan_dev goes away. Pointers back to
- * the dev and the file are implicitly valid as long as the queue
- * exists.
+ * Both the file and the macvlan_dev hold a reference on the macvtap_queue
+ * through sock_hold(&q->sk). When the macvlan_dev goes away first,
+ * q->vlan becomes inaccessible. When the files gets closed,
+ * macvtap_get_queue() fails.
*
- * The callbacks from macvlan are always done with rcu_read_lock held
- * already. For calls from file_operations, we use the rcu_read_lock_bh
- * to get a reference count on the socket and the device.
- *
- * When destroying a queue, we remove the pointers from the file and
- * from the dev and then synchronize_rcu to make sure no thread is
- * still using the queue. There may still be references to the struct
- * sock inside of the queue from outbound SKBs, but these never
- * reference back to the file or the dev. The data structure is freed
- * through __sk_free when both our references and any pending SKBs
- * are gone.
- *
- * macvtap_lock is only used to prevent multiple concurrent open()
- * calls to assign a new vlan->tap pointer. It could be moved into
- * the macvlan_dev itself but is extremely rarely used.
