Subject: [PATCH net-next 12/15] batman-adv: bla: annotate lasttime access with READ/WRITE_ONCE
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 09:25:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603072527.174487-13-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603072527.174487-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The lasttime field for claim, backbone_gw, and loopdetect tracks the
jiffies value of the most recent activity and is used to detect timeouts.
These accesses are not consistently protected by a lock, so
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE must be used to prevent data races caused by compiler
optimizations.
