Prior this commit, when the struct socket object was being released, the UMEM did not have its reference count decreased. Instead, this was done in the struct sock sk_destruct function. There is no reason to keep the UMEM reference around when the socket is being orphaned, so in this patch the xdp_put_mem is called in the xsk_release function. This results in that the xsk_destruct function can be removed! Note that, it still holds that a struct xsk_sock reference might still linger in the XSKMAP after the UMEM is released, e.g. if a user does not clear the XSKMAP prior to closing the process. This sock will be in a "released" zombie like state, until the XSKMAP is removed. Signed-off-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
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.
