Subject: [PATCH net-next 14/15] batman-adv: increase orig hash generation when purging originators
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 10:15:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114091556.3336038-15-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114091556.3336038-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

If batadv_mcast_flags_dump() is preempted during a netlink dump and resumes
in the middle of a hash bucket while batadv_purge_orig_ref() concurrently
removes an originator, the dump offset will be shifted.

Without incrementing the hash generation counter, netlink won't set
NLM_F_DUMP_INTR and the userspace will not be informed about the
inconsistent dump.

Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-83da443f-ce69-4393-a29f-e02b70d1ec96
