From c7de2cf053420d63bac85133469c965d4b1083e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 02:09:23 +0000 Subject: pkt_sched: gen_kill_estimator() rcu fixes gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before freeing stats_lock. This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4 (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU protected. A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU protected. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
