This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: annotate data-races around sk->sk_max_pacing_rate to the 5.4-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-annotate-data-races-around-sk-sk_max_pacing_rate.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 453396818d23d8b006379c482cb71b839407d1b8 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jul 28 15:03:10 2023 +0000 net: annotate data-races around sk->sk_max_pacing_rate [ Upstream commit ea7f45ef77b39e72244d282e47f6cb1ef4135cd2 ] sk_getsockopt() runs locklessly. This means sk->sk_max_pacing_rate can be read while other threads are changing its value.
