Subject: [PATCH] can: bcm: fix data race on rx_stamp/rx_ifindex in
bcm_rx_handler()
For an rx op subscribed on all interfaces (ifindex == 0), the same op
is registered once in the shared per-netns wildcard filter list, so
bcm_rx_handler() can run concurrently on different CPUs for frames
arriving on different net devices.
op->rx_stamp and op->rx_ifindex were written before bcm_rx_update_lock was
taken, allowing concurrent writers to race each other - including a torn
store of the 64-bit rx_stamp on 32-bit platforms.
Beyond a torn store bcm_send_to_user() must report the timestamp/ifindex
of the very same frame whose content it is delivering. So the assignment
is placed in the same unbroken bcm_rx_update_lock section as the content
comparison.
As a side effect, the RTR-request frame feature (which never reach
bcm_send_to_user()) no longer updates rx_stamp/rx_ifindex, since only
the notification path needs them.
