From 2441c1d702fd8986237b8b49bffe8aa44670a346 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:38:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: remove a WARN_ON() in net_enable_timestamp() [ Upstream commit 9979a55a833883242e3a29f3596676edd7199c46 ] The WARN_ON(in_interrupt()) in net_enable_timestamp() can get false positive, in socket clone path, run from softirq context : [ 3641.624425] WARNING: at net/core/dev.c:1532 net_enable_timestamp+0x7b/0x80() [ 3641.668811] Call Trace: [ 3641.671254] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x87/0xc0 [ 3641.677871] [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 3641.683683] [] net_enable_timestamp+0x7b/0x80 [ 3641.689668] [] sk_clone_lock+0x425/0x450 [ 3641.695222] [] inet_csk_clone_lock+0x16/0x170 [ 3641.701213] [] tcp_create_openreq_child+0x29/0x820 [ 3641.707663] [] ? ipt_do_table+0x222/0x670 [ 3641.713354] [] tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock+0xab/0x3d0 [ 3641.719425] [] tcp_check_req+0x3da/0x530 [ 3641.724979] [] ? inet_hashinfo_init+0x60/0x80 [ 3641.730964] [] ? tcp_v4_rcv+0x79f/0xbe0 [ 3641.736430] [] tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x38d/0x4f0 [ 3641.741985] [] tcp_v4_rcv+0xa7a/0xbe0 Its safe at this point because the parent socket owns a reference on the netstamp_needed, so we cant have a 0 -> 1 transition, which requires to lock a mutex. Instead of refining the check, lets remove it, as all known callers are safe. If it ever changes in the future, static_key_slow_inc() will complain anyway.
