can: gw: fix RCU/BH usage in cgw_create_job()



[ Upstream commit 511e64e1 ]

As reported by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior the use of local_bh_disable()
is only feasible in uni processor systems to update the modification rules.
The usual use-case to update the modification rules is to update the data
of the modifications but not the modification types (AND/OR/XOR/SET) or
the checksum functions itself.

To omit additional memory allocations to maintain fast modification
switching times, the modification description space is doubled at gw-job
creation time so that only the reference to the active modification
description is changed under rcu protection.

Rename cgw_job::mod to cf_mod and make it a RCU pointer. Allocate in
cgw_create_job() and free it together with cgw_job in
cgw_job_free_rcu(). Update all users to dereference cgw_job::cf_mod with
a RCU accessor and if possible once.

[bigeasy: Replace mod1/mod2 from the Oliver's original patch with dynamic
allocation, use RCU annotation and accessor]
