Subject: [PATCH net 08/15] batman-adv: tp_meter: annotate last_recv_time access with READ/WRITE_ONCE
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 09:00:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619070045.438101-9-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260619070045.438101-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The last_recv_time field for batadv_tp_receiver 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.
