net_sched: introduce tcf_exts_get_net() and tcf_exts_put_net() Instead of holding netns refcnt in tc actions, we can minimize the holding time by saving it in struct tcf_exts instead. This means we can just hold netns refcnt right before call_rcu() and release it after tcf_exts_destroy() is done. However, because on netns cleanup path we call tcf_proto_destroy() too, obviously we can not hold netns for a zero refcnt, in this case we have to do cleanup synchronously. It is fine for RCU too, the caller cleanup_net() already waits for a grace period. For other cases, refcnt is non-zero and we can safely grab it as normal and release it after we are done. This patch provides two new API for each filter to use: tcf_exts_get_net() and tcf_exts_put_net(). And all filters now can use the following pattern: void __destroy_filter() { tcf_exts_destroy(); tcf_exts_put_net(); // <== release netns refcnt kfree(); } void some_work() { rtnl_lock(); __destroy_filter(); rtnl_unlock(); } void some_rcu_callback() { tcf_queue_work(some_work); } if (tcf_exts_get_net()) // <== hold netns refcnt call_rcu(some_rcu_callback); else __destroy_filter(); Cc: Lucas Bates <lucasb@mojatatu.com> Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Cc: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
