From caaecdd3d3f8ec0ea9906c54b1dd8ec8316d26b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:05:40 +0200 Subject: inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the test We can simply remove the INET_FRAG_EVICTED flag to avoid all the flags race conditions with the evictor and use a participation test for the evictor list, when we're at that point (after inet_frag_kill) in the timer there're 2 possible cases: 1. The evictor added the entry to its evictor list while the timer was waiting for the chainlock or 2. The timer unchained the entry and the evictor won't see it In both cases we should be able to see list_evictor correctly due to the sync on the chainlock. Joint work with Florian Westphal.
