Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net v1 1/3] ice: Convert ctrl_pf pointer in struct ice_adapter to RCU
Date: Mon,  4 May 2026 11:00:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504110058.2373236-2-sergey.temerkhanov@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504110058.2373236-1-sergey.temerkhanov@intel.com>

Use RCU to ensure the consistent state of the control PF global
pointer contained in struct ice_adapter. Enforce RCU usage on
the callers.

Fix a potential invalid pointer return due a TOCTOU issue

Fixes: e2193f9f9ec9 ("ice: enable timesync operation on 2xNAC E825 devices")
