Subject: [PATCH v1 net] ipmr: Call ipmr_fib_lookup() under RCU.
Date: Wed,  6 May 2026 06:59:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506065955.1695753-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)

Yi Lai reported RCU splat in reg_vif_xmit() below. [0]

When CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES=n, ipmr_fib_lookup()
uses rcu_dereference() without explicit rcu_read_lock().

Although rcu_read_lock_bh() is already held by the caller
__dev_queue_xmit(), lockdep requires explicit rcu_read_lock()
for rcu_dereference().

Let's move up rcu_read_lock() in reg_vif_xmit() to
cover ipmr_fib_lookup().
