Linux kernel for uConsole
304e024216
Although we intentionally use an ordered workqueue for all tc
filter works, the ordering is not guaranteed by RCU work,
given that tcf_queue_work() is esstenially a call_rcu().
This problem is demostrated by Thomas:
CPU 0:
tcf_queue_work()
tcf_queue_work(&r->rwork, tcindex_destroy_rexts_work);
-> Migration to CPU 1
CPU 1:
tcf_queue_work(&p->rwork, tcindex_destroy_work);
so the 2nd work could be queued before the 1st one, which leads
to a free-after-free.
Enforcing this order in RCU work is hard as it requires to change
RCU code too. Fortunately we can workaround this problem in tcindex
filter by taking a temporary refcnt, we only refcnt it right before
we begin to destroy it. This simplifies the code a lot as a full
refcnt requires much more changes in tcindex_set_parms().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
