From 76aed95319da25d6884dff01d5f0149e4b542f96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuniyuki Iwashima Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2024 15:10:29 -0700 Subject: rtnetlink: Add per-netns RTNL. The goal is to break RTNL down into per-netns mutex. This patch adds per-netns mutex and its helper functions, rtnl_net_lock() and rtnl_net_unlock(). rtnl_net_lock() acquires the global RTNL and per-netns RTNL mutex, and rtnl_net_unlock() releases them. We will replace 800+ rtnl_lock() with rtnl_net_lock() and finally removes rtnl_lock() in rtnl_net_lock(). When we need to nest per-netns RTNL mutex, we will use __rtnl_net_lock(), and its locking order is defined by rtnl_net_lock_cmp_fn() as follows: 1. init_net is first 2. netns address ascending order Note that the conversion will be done under CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL with LOCKDEP so that we can carefully add the extra mutex without slowing down RTNL operations during conversion.
