This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/sched: make psched_mtu() RTNL-less safe to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sched-make-psched_mtu-rtnl-less-safe.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 19bfe7281d835cff53c41f2059bbd4222c112960 Author: Pedro Tammela <pctammela@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 10 23:16:34 2023 -0300 net/sched: make psched_mtu() RTNL-less safe [ Upstream commit 150e33e62c1fa4af5aaab02776b6c3812711d478 ] Eric Dumazet says[1]: ------- Speaking of psched_mtu(), I see that net/sched/sch_pie.c is using it without holding RTNL, so dev->mtu can be changed underneath. KCSAN could issue a warning. ------- Annotate dev->mtu with READ_ONCE() so KCSAN don't issue a warning.
