Hi Nik,

Thanks for the detailed review, this is my first time when I use the RCU,
so I might need to spend more time on time.

When a port is deleted, then the userspace application will be notified
and then the userspace will remove the MRP instance. Because there is no
point to have a MRP instance with only 1 port. And the function that
delets the MRP instance is br_mrp_del.

> Also do you actually need the mrp->lock ?

I think I should be fine not to use mrp->lock because already the rtnl
lock is taken.

Can you give me a little more details why is a bad pattern?
I have tried to read about rcu from here[1][2]. But I couldn't see
anything about this.

Later I have checks to see if the port is no NULL. Is not good enough?
I have these rcu_access_pointer checks and before that I disable the
interrupts and get the rcu lock.

By disabling the interrupts and taking the rcu read lock, will I not be
sure that no one can access the p_port?
If is not true, how the p_port can become NULL?

Actually this shouldn't be after the list_add_tail_rcu? Because I am
thinking that some can read the list at the same time I am change it.
