arp_net_ops just addr/removes /proc entry. devinet_ops allocates and frees duplicate of init_net tables and (un)registers sysctl entries. fib_net_ops allocates and frees pernet tables, creates/destroys netlink socket and (un)initializes /proc entries. Foreign pernet_operations do not touch them. ip_rt_proc_ops only modifies pernet /proc entries. xfrm_net_ops creates/destroys /proc entries, allocates/frees pernet statistics, hashes and tables, and (un)initializes sysctl files. These are not touched by foreigh pernet_operations xfrm4_net_ops allocates/frees private pernet memory, and configures sysctls. sysctl_route_ops creates/destroys sysctls. rt_genid_ops only initializes fields of just allocated net. ipv4_inetpeer_ops allocated/frees net private memory. igmp_net_ops just creates/destroys /proc files and socket, noone else interested in. tcp_sk_ops seems to be safe, because tcp_sk_init() does not depend on any other pernet_operations modifications. Iteration over hash table in inet_twsk_purge() is made under RCU lock, and it's safe to iterate the table this way. Removing from the table happen from inet_twsk_deschedule_put(), but this function is safe without any extern locks, as it's synchronized inside itself. There are many examples, it's used in different context. So, it's safe to leave tcp_sk_exit_batch() unlocked. tcp_net_metrics_ops is synchronized on tcp_metrics_lock and safe. udplite4_net_ops only creates/destroys pernet /proc file. icmp_sk_ops creates percpu sockets, not touched by foreign pernet_operations. ipmr_net_ops creates/destroys pernet fib tables, (un)registers fib rules and /proc files. This seem to be safe to execute in parallel with foreign pernet_operations. af_inet_ops just sets up default parameters of newly created net. ipv4_mib_ops creates and destroys pernet percpu statistics. raw_net_ops, tcp4_net_ops, udp4_net_ops, ping_v4_net_ops and ip_proc_ops only create/destroy pernet /proc files. ip4_frags_ops creates and destroys sysctl file. So, it's safe to make the pernet_operations async. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Acked-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@virtuozzo.com> 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.
