Subject: [PATCH v5 net-next 14/16] net: net_failover: ensure .ndo_get_stats64 can sleep
From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>
The failover framework sets up a virtio_net interface [ when it has the
VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature ] and a VF interface, having the same MAC
address, in a standby/active relationship. When the active VF is
unplugged, the standby virtio_net temporarily kicks in.
The failover framework registers a common upper for the active and the
standby interface, which is what the application layer uses. This is
similar to bonding/team. The statistics of the upper interface are the
sum of the statistics of the active and of the standby interface.
There is an effort to convert .ndo_get_stats64 to sleepable context, and
for that to work, we need to prevent callers of dev_get_stats from using
atomic locking. The failover driver needs protection via an RCU
read-side critical section to access the standby and the active
interface. This has two features:
- It is atomic: this needs to change.
- It is reentrant: this is ok, because generally speaking, dev_get_stats
is recursive, and taking global locks is a bad thing from a recursive
context.
The existing logic can be rehashed just a little bit such that the
recursive dev_get_stats call will not be under any lock. We can achieve
that by "cheating" a little bit and use dev_hold() to take a reference
on the active and backup interfaces, and netdev_wait_allrefs() will just
have to wait until dev_get_stats() finishes.

Changes in v5:
Use rcu_read_lock() and do not change the locking architecture of the
driver.
Changes in v4:
Now there is code to propagate errors.
Changes in v3:
None.
Changes in v2:
Switched to the new scheme of holding just a refcnt to the slave
interfaces while recursing with dev_get_stats.
