Subject: [PATCH 7/8] tcp: Protect init socket pools with mutex for thread safety
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 19:10:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616171052.3785909-8-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616171052.3785909-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

The pre-opened socket pools init_sock_pool4/6 are consumed by
tcp_conn_pool_sock() when creating new connections from any worker
thread, and refilled by tcp_sock_refill_pool() from tcp_timer() in
post_handler(). These can run concurrently on different threads.

Add a mutex protecting both operations in tcp_conn_sock() and
tcp_sock_refill_init(), where init namespace pools are accessed.
