Currently, tcf_block doesn't use any synchronization mechanisms to protect critical sections that manage lifetime of its chains. block->chain_list and multiple variables in tcf_chain that control its lifetime assume external synchronization provided by global rtnl lock. Converting chain reference counting to atomic reference counters is not possible because cls API uses multiple counters and flags to control chain lifetime, so all of them must be synchronized in chain get/put code. Use single per-block lock to protect block data and manage lifetime of all chains on the block. Always take block->lock when accessing chain_list. Chain get and put modify chain lifetime-management data and parent block's chain_list, so take the lock in these functions. Verify block->lock state with assertions in functions that expect to be called with the lock taken and are called from multiple places. Take block->lock when accessing filter_chain_list. In order to allow parallel update of rules on single block, move all calls to classifiers outside of critical sections protected by new block->lock. Rearrange chain get and put functions code to only access protected chain data while holding block lock: - Rearrange code to only access chain reference counter and chain action reference counter while holding block lock. - Extract code that requires block->lock from tcf_chain_destroy() into standalone tcf_chain_destroy() function that is called by __tcf_chain_put() in same critical section that changes chain reference counters.

README
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.
