During the creation of xfrm_dst bundle, always take ref count when allocating the dst. This way, xfrm_bundle_create() will form a linked list of dst with dst->child pointing to a ref counted dst child. And the returned dst pointer is also ref counted. This makes the link from the flow cache to this dst now ref counted properly. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() and its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). The special handling logic for dst->child in dst_destroy() can be replaced with a simple dst_release_immediate() call on the child to release the whole list linked by dst->child pointer. Previously used DST_NOHASH flag is not needed anymore as well. The reason that DST_NOHASH is used in the existing code is mainly to prevent the dst inserted in the fib tree to be wrongly destroyed during the deletion of the xfrm_dst bundle. So in the existing code, DST_NOHASH flag is marked in all the dst children except the one which is in the fib tree. However, with this patch series to remove dst gc logic and release dst only based on ref count, it is safe to release all the children from a xfrm_dst bundle as long as the dst children are all ref counted properly which is already the case in the existing code. So, this patch removes the use of DST_NOHASH flag. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
