Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net: shaper: annotate the data races
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 15:13:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515221325.1685455-2-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515221325.1685455-1-kuba@kernel.org>

As previously discussed we don't care about making the shaper
state fully RCU-compliant because the hierarchy itself can't
be dumped in one go over Netlink. Let's annotate the reads
and writes to make that clear.

The field-by-field assignments will also be useful for the
next commit which adds explicit "valid" field (which we don't
want to override with the current full struct assignment).
