Subject: [syzbot] [batman?] WARNING in __batadv_dat_purge
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 18:26:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6af3d25b.17ff5aea.1b027f.01a2.GAE@google.com> (raw)
Hello,
syzbot found the following issue on:
HEAD commit: b3dfbde62cf1 Merge tag 'linux_kselftest-fixes-7.4-rc3' of ..
git tree: upstream

AI-generated root cause summary:
Under PREEMPT_RT kernels, `__local_bh_enable_ip()` enforces that hard IRQs are
enabled using `lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()`. When `batadv_dat_purge()` invokes
`__batadv_dat_purge()`, `spin_unlock_bh()` calls `local_bh_enable()`, which
trips `kernel/softirq.c:289` because lockdep's per-CPU `hardirqs_enabled`
tracker was 0 despite CPU hardware interrupts being enabled (`EFLAGS.IF == 1`).
The lock and bottom-half operations in `__batadv_dat_purge()` and its callee
`batadv_dat_entry_put()` are properly balanced, indicating lockdep's per-CPU IRQ
tracking state became desynchronized from the CPU's hardware interrupt state.
