Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/15] batman-adv: annotate neigh_node last_seen with READ/WRITE_ONCE
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:27:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111102729.2096241-11-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111102729.2096241-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
The last_seen field for batadv_neigh_node 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.
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-6ad653e2-1ce9-4124-bdf2-2187de5a2c16
