ipvs: separate destination availability state 2026-08-23T12:19:56+00:00 Yizhou Zhao zhaoyz24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn 2026-08-18T20:16:38+00:00 3e9d5f325e9ce0c9f546a54526a04465b038d0b2 commit cdcc4e46180df8161f4d2f3c6fd6beaf6990133d upstream. IPVS configuration paths update destination availability while connection accounting updates destination overload state. The two independent states share dest->flags, so their read-modify-write updates can race and lose one another. Keep OVERLOAD in flags, where the preceding patch serializes its updates with dst_lock, and move AVAILABLE to cflags. This keeps configuration- controlled availability out of the scheduler hot cacheline until a scheduler needs to check it. It also prevents availability updates from clobbering overload state. The destination status bits are not exposed through the IPVS sockopt or netlink interfaces, so keep their definitions in the internal IPVS header. Readers can still observe stale destination state; this does not provide a cross-field snapshot.

commit cdcc4e46180df8161f4d2f3c6fd6beaf6990133d upstream.

IPVS configuration paths update destination availability while connection
accounting updates destination overload state. The two independent states
share dest->flags, so their read-modify-write updates can race and lose one
another.

Keep OVERLOAD in flags, where the preceding patch serializes its updates
with dst_lock, and move AVAILABLE to cflags. This keeps configuration-
controlled availability out of the scheduler hot cacheline until a
scheduler needs to check it. It also prevents availability updates from
clobbering overload state.

The destination status bits are not exposed through the IPVS sockopt or
netlink interfaces, so keep their definitions in the internal IPVS header.

Readers can still observe stale destination state; this does not provide a
cross-field snapshot.
