Subject: [PATCH 2/8] can: bcm: fix CAN frame rx/tx statistics
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:40:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724084042.12984-3-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072045-delicious-provider-5673@gregkh>
commit e6c24ba95fc3f1b5e1dcd28b1c6e59ef61a9daa5 upstream.
KCSAN detected a data race within the bcm_rx_handler() when two CAN frames
have been simultaneously received and processed in a single rx op by two
different CPUs.
Use atomic operations with (signed) long data types to access the
statistics in the hot path to fix the KCSAN complaint.
Additionally simplify the update and check of statistics overflow by
using the atomic operations in separate bcm_update_[rx|tx]_stats()
functions. The rx variant runs under bcm_rx_update_lock to prevent
races when resetting the two rx counters; the tx variant runs under
bcm_tx_lock and only needs to guard its own counter's overflow.
As the rx path resets its values already at LONG_MAX / 100, there is
no conflict between the two locking domains (bcm_rx_update_lock vs.
bcm_tx_lock) even for ops that use both paths.
The rx statistics update and the frames_filtered update in
bcm_rx_changed() were previously performed in two separate
bcm_rx_update_lock sections. For an rx op subscribed on all interfaces
(ifindex == 0), bcm_rx_handler() can run concurrently on different
CPUs, so a counter reset by one CPU between these two sections could
leave frames_filtered larger than frames_abs on another CPU, producing
a bogus (even negative) reduction percentage in procfs. Update the
statistics in the same critical section as bcm_rx_changed() to close
this gap, which also removes the now unneeded extra lock/unlock pair
around the traffic_flags calculation.
