While races were extremely rare, we've now had a couple of reports of panics in environments involving large numbers of IPSEC tunnels being added very quickly on an active system. - Add accessor functions ifnet_byindex(), ifaddr_byindex(), ifdev_byindex() to replace existing accessor macros. These functions now acquire the ifnet lock before derefencing the table. - Add IFNET_WLOCK_ASSERT(). - Add static accessor functions ifnet_setbyindex(), ifdev_setbyindex(), which set values in the table either asserting of acquiring the ifnet lock. - Use accessor functions throughout if.c to modify and read ifindex_table. - Rework ifnet attach/detach to lock around ifindex_table modification. Note that these changes simply close races around use of ifindex_table, and make no attempt to solve the probem of disappearing ifnets. Further refinement of this work, including with respect to ifindex_table resizing, is still required. In a future change, the ifnet lock should be converted from a mutex to an rwlock in order to reduce contention. Reviewed and tested by: brooks |
