[PATCH net v4 0/4] Fix race conditions in ndo_get_stats64
From: Shinas Rasheed
Date: Thu Jan 02 2025 - 06:23:21 EST
Fix race conditions in ndo_get_stats64 by checking if netdev is running
before per queue resources are accessed, and remove stats fetch from
firmware which is currently unnecessary
Changes:
V4:
- Check if netdev is running, as decision for accessing resources
rather than availing lock implementations, in ndo_get_stats64()
V3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241218115111.2407958-1-srasheed@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Added warn log that happened due to rcu_read_lock in commit message
V2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241216075842.2394606-1-srasheed@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Changed sync mechanism to fix race conditions from using an atomic
set_bit ops to a much simpler synchronize_net()
V1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241203072130.2316913-1-srasheed@xxxxxxxxxxx/
