Subject: stmmac: Remove rcu_read_lock() around XDP program invocation
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2f1e432d339c5fed435adf521cae392755721050;p=linux.git

stmmac: Remove rcu_read_lock() around XDP program invocation

The stmmac driver has rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around XDP
program invocations. However, the actual lifetime of the objects referred
by the XDP program invocation is longer, all the way through to the call to
xdp_do_flush(), making the scope of the rcu_read_lock() too small. This
turns out to be harmless because it all happens in a single NAPI poll
cycle (and thus under local_bh_disable()), but it makes the rcu_read_lock()
misleading.

Rather than extend the scope of the rcu_read_lock(), just get rid of it
entirely. With the addition of RCU annotations to the XDP_REDIRECT map
types that take bh execution into account, lockdep even understands this to
be safe, so there's really no reason to keep it around.
