Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] s390/ctcm: Fix timer corruption in fsm_addtimer()
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 16:45:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907144511.3810194-2-nagamani@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907144511.3810194-1-nagamani@linux.ibm.com>
fsm_addtimer() calls timer_setup() unconditionally before add_timer().
If called on an already-pending timer, timer_setup() re-initializes
the timer's list_head fields while the timer is still enqueued in the
wheel, corrupting the timer list.
The timer is already initialized once by fsm_settimer() which calls
timer_setup() correctly. Multiple callsites invoke fsm_addtimer()
without a preceding fsm_deltimer(), including ctcm_main.c
ctcm_send_sweep() and ctcm_mpc.c mpc_action_side_xid(), making the
redundant timer_setup() in fsm_addtimer() a real corruption risk.
Remove the redundant timer_setup() calls from fsm_addtimer() and
fsm_modtimer(), and replace add_timer() with mod_timer() which safely
handles both pending and non-pending timers atomically without
corrupting the timer wheel.
Fixes: e99e88a9d2b0 ("treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()")
