When route is added/deleted, the appropriate counter is increased/decreased to maintain number of routes. User can limit the number of routes and then according to the appropriate counter, adding more routes than the limitation is forbidden. Currently, there is one lock which protects hashtable, list and accounting. Handling the counters will be performed from both atomic context and non-atomic context, while the hashtable and the list will be used only from non-atomic context and therefore will be protected by a separate lock. Protect accounting by using an atomic variable, so lock is not needed. v2: * Use atomic64_sub() in nsim_nexthop_account()'s error path Signed-off-by: Amit Cohen <amcohen@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
