/*
* The TIPC locking policy is designed to ensure a very fine locking
* granularity, permitting complete parallel access to individual
- * port and node/link instances. The code consists of three major
+ * port and node/link instances. The code consists of four major
* locking domains, each protected with their own disjunct set of locks.
*
- * 1: The routing hierarchy.
- * Comprises the structures 'zone', 'cluster', 'node', 'link'
- * and 'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big
- * read/write lock, tipc_net_lock, to enssure that nothing is added
- * or removed while code is accessing any of these structures.
- * This layer must not be called from the two others while they
- * hold any of their own locks.
- * Neither must it itself do any upcalls to the other two before
- * it has released tipc_net_lock and other protective locks.
+ * 1: The bearer level.
+ * RTNL lock is used to serialize the process of configuring bearer
+ * on update side, and RCU lock is applied on read side to make
+ * bearer instance valid on both paths of message transmission and
+ * reception.
*
- * Within the tipc_net_lock domain there are two sub-domains;'node' and
- * 'bearer', where local write operations are permitted,
- * provided that those are protected by individual spin_locks
- * per instance. Code holding tipc_net_lock(read) and a node spin_lock
- * is permitted to poke around in both the node itself and its
- * subordinate links. I.e, it can update link counters and queues,
- * change link state, send protocol messages, and alter the
- * "active_links" array in the node; but it can _not_ remove a link
- * or a node from the overall structure.
- * Correspondingly, individual bearers may change status within a
- * tipc_net_lock(read), protected by an individual spin_lock ber bearer
- * instance, but it needs tipc_net_lock(write) to remove/add any bearers.
+ * 2: The node and link level.
+ * All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
+ * lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
+ * and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. Especially node
+ * instance is destroyed only when TIPC module is removed, and we can
+ * confirm that there has no any user who is accessing the node at the
+ * moment. Therefore, Except for iterating the two lists within RCU
+ * protection, it's no needed to hold RCU that we access node instance
+ * in other places.
*
+ * In addition, all members in node structure including link instances
+ * are protected by node spin lock.
*
- * 2: The transport level of the protocol.
- * This consists of the structures port, (and its user level
- * representations, such as user_port and tipc_sock), reference and
- * tipc_user (port.c, reg.c, socket.c).
+ * 3: The transport level of the protocol.
+ * This consists of the structures port, (and its user level
+ * representations, such as user_port and tipc_sock), reference and
