From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:42:47 +0000 (+0000) Subject: vxlan: use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit() X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8eca411347e1d38964f9ed2c8d3b6ab0e7e4473d;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git vxlan: use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit() The neighbour hardware address n->ha can be updated asynchronously by the neighbour subsystem, protected by n->ha_lock seqlock. Reading n->ha without holding the seqlock loop can lead to torn reads or reading a partially updated MAC address. Use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit() to safely copy n->ha under read_seqbegin()/read_seqretry() lock protection before using it. Note that arp_reduce() and neigh_reduce() seem to have the same issue left for future patches.
