      net: introduce DST_NOGC in dst_release() to destroy dst based on refcnt · 5f56f409
      Wei Wang authored 
      The current mechanism of freeing dst is a bit complicated. dst has its
ref count and when user grabs the reference to the dst, the ref count is
properly taken in most cases except in IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing
code due to some historic reasons.

If the reference to dst is always taken properly, we should be able to
simplify the logic in dst_release() to destroy dst when dst->__refcnt
drops from 1 to 0. And this should be the only condition to determine
if we can call dst_destroy().
And as dst is always ref counted, there is no need for a dst garbage
list to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the routing
code but are still held by other users. And the task to periodically
check the list to free dst if ref count become 0 is also not needed
anymore.

This patch introduces a temporary flag DST_NOGC(no garbage collector).
If it is set in the dst, dst_release() will call dst_destroy() when
dst->__refcnt drops to 0. dst_hold_safe() will also check for this flag
and do atomic_inc_not_zero() similar as DST_NOCACHE to avoid double free
issue.
This temporary flag is mainly used so that we can make the transition
component by component without breaking other parts.
This flag will be removed after all components are properly transitioned.

This patch also introduces a new function dst_release_immediate() which
destroys dst without waiting on the rcu when refcnt drops to 0. It will
be used in later patches.

Follow-up patches will correct all the places to properly take ref count
on dst and mark DST_NOGC. dst_release() or dst_release_immediate() will
be used to release the dst instead of dst_free() and its related
functions.
And final clean-up patch will remove the DST_NOGC flag.

      net: use loopback dev when generating blackhole route · 1dbe3252
      Wei Wang authored 
      Existing ipv4/6_blackhole_route() code generates a blackhole route
with dst->dev pointing to the passed in dst->dev.
It is not necessary to hold reference to the passed in dst->dev
because the packets going through this route are dropped anyway.
A loopback interface is good enough so that we don't need to worry about
releasing this dst->dev when this dev is going down.

      udp: call dst_hold_safe() in udp_sk_rx_set_dst() · d24406c8
      Wei Wang authored 
      In udp_v4/6_early_demux() code, we try to hold dst->__refcnt for
dst with DST_NOCACHE flag. This is because later in udp_sk_rx_dst_set()
function, we will try to cache this dst in sk for connected case.
However, a better way to achieve this is to not try to hold dst in
early_demux(), but in udp_sk_rx_dst_set(), call dst_hold_safe(). This
approach is also more consistant with how tcp is handling it. And it
will make later changes simpler.

      ipv6: remove unnecessary dst_hold() in ip6_fragment() · 1758fd46
      Wei Wang authored 
      In ipv6 tx path, rcu_read_lock() is taken so that dst won't get freed
during the execution of ip6_fragment(). Hence, no need to hold dst in
it.
