[B.A.T.M.A.N.] kfree_rcu patches

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] kfree_rcu patches

[Sven Eckelmann]

Hi,

Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> proposed some changes
which will reduce the amount of "kfree only" rcu-callback functions. The
batman-adv compatibility layer has to add a similar functionality to
support older kernels.

I wanted to propose a solution which should be discussed before the
kfree_rcu functionality enters Linus' kernel and our master branch.

The amount of kfree_rcu_* function was reduced to support only a maximum
offset of 256 to any 'struct rcu_head' inside a struct. This should be
enough for the current version and supported architectures. Offsets of
4096 are supported by Paul E. McKenney's implementation, but our
workaround would increase the size of the final module too much
(personal opinion).

~~~ These patches should *NOT* enter the batman-adv repo right now ~~~~~

Kind regards,
	Sven

How about something like this (in compat.h):

static void free_rcu_gw_node(struct rcu_head *rcu)
{
       struct gw_node *gw_node;

       gw_node = container_of(rcu, struct gw_node, rcu);
       kfree(gw_node);
}

#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head) call_rcu(&ptr->rcu_head, free_rcu_##ptr);


Disclaimer: This is a proof of concept to convey the idea - I did not even try 
to compile this code.

Obviously, we would need an extra function for each kfree_rcu() call.

Regards,
Marek

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2 4/4] batman-adv: convert call_rcu(softif_neigh_free_rcu) to kfree_rcu

[Sven Eckelmann]

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The RCU callback softif_neigh_free_rcu() just calls kfree(), so we can
use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu().
