Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/15] batman-adv: tt: annotate last_seen with READ/WRITE_ONCE
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:27:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111102729.2096241-9-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_tt_local_entry 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.
