Re: [PATCH net v4 1/2] s390/ctcm: Fix timer corruption in fsm_addtimer()

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> 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
> ctcmpc_send_sweep_req() 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.
