net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true if the key got initialized. The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so it needs some further explanation why this actually works: === In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have === no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is initialized like this: ___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) } The check if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ expands into (pseudo code) if (!likely(___done_key > 0)) , so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the helper function. === If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends === on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called before that! At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs): 71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above. arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks like this: if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ expands to if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path. static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the branch is replaced with a nop again. === Misc: === The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean (___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before the increment happend.
