Linux kernel source tree for SHARP Brain series (PW-SH1 or later)
988f3f1603
We have seen the following race scenario: 1) named_distribute() builds a "bulk" message, containing a PUBLISH item for a certain publication. This is based on the contents of the binding tables's 'cluster_scope' list. 2) tipc_named_withdraw() removes the same publication from the list, bulds a WITHDRAW message and distributes it to all cluster nodes. 3) tipc_named_node_up(), which was calling named_distribute(), sends out the bulk message built under 1) 4) The WITHDRAW message arrives at the just detected node, finds no corresponding publication, and is dropped. 5) The PUBLISH item arrives at the same node, is added to its binding table, and remains there forever. This arrival disordering was earlier taken care of by the backlog queue, originally added for a different purpose, which was removed in the commit referred to below, but we now need a different solution. In this commit, we replace the rcu lock protecting the 'cluster_scope' list with a regular RW lock which comprises even the sending of the bulk message. This both guarantees both the list integrity and the message sending order. We will later add a commit which cleans up this code further. Note that this commit needs recently added commit |

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.
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.
