Linux kernel source tree

The netlink messages are sent both in mptcp_pm_nl_get_addr() and mptcp_userspace_pm_get_addr(), this makes the code somewhat repetitive. This is because the netlink PM and userspace PM use different locks to protect the address entry that needs to be sent via the netlink message. The former uses rcu read lock, and the latter uses msk->pm.lock. The current get_addr() flow looks like this: lock(); entry = get_entry(); send_nlmsg(entry); unlock(); After holding the lock, get the entry from the list, send the entry, and finally release the lock. This patch changes the process by getting the entry while holding the lock, then making a copy of the entry so that the lock can be released. Finally, the copy of the entry is sent without locking: lock(); entry = get_entry(); *copy = *entry; unlock(); send_nlmsg(copy); This way we can reuse the send_nlmsg() code in get_addr() interfaces between the netlink PM and userspace PM. They only need to implement their own get_addr() interfaces to hold the different locks, get the entry from the different lists, then release the locks.

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 reStructuredText 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.
