[PATCH nf-next v2] netfilter: conntrack: Add missing modification about data-race around ct->timeout
Posted by Chenguang Zhao 1 week, 5 days ago
struct nf_conn)->timeout can be read/written locklessly,
add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to prevent load/store tearing.

The patch 'commit 802a7dc5cf1b ("netfilter: conntrack: annotate
data-races around ct->timeout")'fixed it, but there was a
missing part that this patch completes it.

Do you have a KCSAN splat or similar?

I'm no longer sure this was missing.

Here we hold the bucket insert locks for ct, so I don't see
how we can have concurrent modification here.
