Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/15] batman-adv: annotate hardif_neigh_node last_seen with READ/WRITE_ONCE
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:27:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111102729.2096241-12-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_hardif_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.

To avoid an underflow due to an non-strict order read of jiffies vs
last_seen, use jiffies_delta_to_msecs instead of jiffies_to_msecs to
evaluate the delta.
