Subject: [PATCH 1/2] can: bcm: add locking when updating filter and timer values
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 14:14:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520121450.27964-2-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520121450.27964-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net>

KCSAN detected a simultaneous access to timer values that can be
overwritten in bcm_rx_setup when updating timer and filter content.
This caused no functional issues in the past as the new values might
show up at any time without losing its intended functionality.

Btw. the KCSAN report can be resolved by protecting the 'lockless'
data updates with a spin_lock_bh().

Fixes: ffd980f976e7 ("[CAN]: Add broadcast manager (bcm) protocol")
Reported-by: syzbot+75e5e4ae00c3b4bb544e@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/6975d5cf.a00a0220.33ccc7.0022.GAE@google.com/
