Subject: [PATCH net-next 13/14] netfilter: conntrack: annotate data-races around timeout and tcp sysctls
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 10:52:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109025425.328445-14-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109025425.328445-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
The nf_conntrack_*_timeout* knobs, nf_flowtable_tcp_timeout,
nf_flowtable_udp_timeout and nf_conntrack_tcp_{loose,be_liberal,
max_retrans,ignore_invalid_rst} are read in the packet path without any
lock while their sysctl handlers update them with WRITE_ONCE(). Add
READ_ONCE() to the readers.
KCSAN reports it when nf_conntrack_udp_timeout is changed while UDP
traffic goes through conntrack:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in nf_conntrack_udp_packet / proc_int_u2k_conv_uop
write (marked) to 0xffffffffb0829bc4 of 4 bytes by task 436 on cpu 0:

...
value changed: 0x00001d4c -> 0x00001e46
