    nf_conntrack: Use rcu_barrier() · 308ff823
    Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
    RCU barriers, rcu_barrier(), is inserted two places.
    
     In nf_conntrack_expect.c nf_conntrack_expect_fini() before the
     kmem_cache_destroy().  Firstly to make sure the callback to the
     nf_ct_expect_free_rcu() code is still around.  Secondly because I'm
     unsure about the consequence of having in flight
     nf_ct_expect_free_rcu/kmem_cache_free() calls while doing a
     kmem_cache_destroy() slab destroy.
    
     And in nf_conntrack_extend.c nf_ct_extend_unregister(), inorder to
     wait for completion of callbacks to __nf_ct_ext_free_rcu(), which is
     invoked by __nf_ct_ext_add().  It might be more efficient to call
     rcu_barrier() in nf_conntrack_core.c nf_conntrack_cleanup_net(), but
     thats make it more difficult to read the code (as the callback code
     in located in nf_conntrack_extend.c).
