From cfebd7e242d7193a9901222b3e667788810d98c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Buslov Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:22:54 +0300 Subject: net: sched: change tcf block reference counter type to refcount_t As a preparation for removing rtnl lock dependency from rules update path, change tcf block reference counter type to refcount_t to allow modification by concurrent users. In block put function perform decrement and check reference counter once to accommodate concurrent modification by unlocked users. After this change tcf_chain_put at the end of block put function is called with block->refcnt==0 and will deallocate block after the last chain is released, so there is no need to manually deallocate block in this case. However, if block reference counter reached 0 and there are no chains to release, block must still be deallocated manually. Signed-off-by: Vlad Buslov Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
