From cca32e4bf999a34ac08d959f351f2b30bcd02460 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 21:06:13 +0000 Subject: net: TCP early demux cleanup early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst)) Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around ->early_demux() are confusing and not needed : Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section. (__netif_receive_skb() does the rcu_read_lock() ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
