pppol2tp_session_create() registers sessions that can't have their corresponding socket initialised. This socket has to be created by userspace, then connected to the session by pppol2tp_connect(). Therefore, we need to protect the pppol2tp socket pointer of L2TP sessions, so that it can safely be updated when userspace is connecting or closing the socket. This will eventually allow pppol2tp_connect() to avoid generating transient states while initialising its parts of the session. To this end, this patch protects the pppol2tp socket pointer using RCU. The pppol2tp socket pointer is still set in pppol2tp_connect(), but only once we know the function isn't going to fail. It's eventually reset by pppol2tp_release(), which now has to wait for a grace period to elapse before it can drop the last reference on the socket. This ensures that pppol2tp_session_get_sock() can safely grab a reference on the socket, even after ps->sk is reset to NULL but before this operation actually gets visible from pppol2tp_session_get_sock(). The rest is standard RCU conversion: pppol2tp_recv(), which already runs in atomic context, is simply enclosed by rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(), while other functions are converted to use pppol2tp_session_get_sock() followed by sock_put(). pppol2tp_session_setsockopt() is a special case. It used to retrieve the pppol2tp socket from the L2TP session, which itself was retrieved from the pppol2tp socket. Therefore we can just avoid dereferencing ps->sk and directly use the original socket pointer instead. With all users of ps->sk now handling NULL and concurrent updates, the L2TP ->ref() and ->deref() callbacks aren't needed anymore. Therefore, rather than converting pppol2tp_session_sock_hold() and pppol2tp_session_sock_put(), we can just drop them. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
