xfrm: Don't disable preemption while looking up cache state.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 6c9b7db ]

For the state cache lookup xfrm_input_state_lookup() first disables
preemption, to remain on the CPU and then retrieves a per-CPU pointer.
Within the preempt-disable section it also acquires
netns_xfrm::xfrm_state_lock, a spinlock_t. This lock must not be
acquired with explicit disabled preemption (such as by get_cpu())
because this lock becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.

To remain on the same CPU is just an optimisation for the CPU local
lookup. The actual modification of the per-CPU variable happens with
netns_xfrm::xfrm_state_lock acquired.

Remove get_cpu() and use the state_cache_input on the current CPU.
