From 7cd0a63872ac6ef97265f07adc367ca4f984468e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarek Poplawski Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:00:19 -0700 Subject: pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete. While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858 I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock. This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds, which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here. Reported-by: m0sia Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski Signed-off-by: David S.
