Subject: [PATCH net 08/15] ipvs: update flags and seqs in backup server under lock
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 02:14:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113011447.2357709-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113011447.2357709-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>
Sashiko reports that we modify the conn flags and seq values in
the backup server without holding cp->lock. The same is true for
other fields such as state, old_state and timeout which are
modified by protocols under lock.
Extend the locked region in ip_vs_proc_conn() to update the
fields atomically.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Link: https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/#/patchset/20260927220816.268206-1-pablo%40netfilter.org
