Subject: [PATCH 5.10 23/23] batman-adv: tvlv: avoid race of cifsnotfound handler state
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:09:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626160952.123713-24-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626160952.123713-1-sven@narfation.org>

commit edb557b2ba38fea2c5eb710cf366c797e187218c upstream.

TVLV handlers can have the flag BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CIFNOTFND set to
signal that the OGM handler should be called (with NULL for data) when the
specific TVLV container was not found in the OGM. This is used by:

* DAT
* GW
* Multicast (OGM + Tracker)

The state whether the handler was executed was stored in the struct
batadv_tvlv_handler. But the TVLV processing is started without any lock.
Multiple parallel contexts processing TVLVs would therefore overwrite each
others BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CALLED flag in the shared
batadv_tvlv_handler.

Drop the shared BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CALLED flag and instead determine,
per TVLV buffer, whether a matching container was present by scanning the
packet's buffer.
