Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/15] batman-adv: avoid torn u64 counter reads on 32-bit systems
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:27:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111102729.2096241-5-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111102729.2096241-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
On a 32-bit architecture, concurrent updates and reads of the 64-bit
per-CPU counters result in torn reads. It is necessary to share a
sync-point with the batadv_add_counter() and batadv_sum_counter() to ensure
that a potential write (which modifies the upper u32 too) can be retried by
batadv_sum_counter().
The counters are switched to u64_stats_t to also get properly annotated
(local64) accesses on 64 bit systems.
