This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled neighbour: fix data-races around n->output to the 6.1-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: neighbour-fix-data-races-around-n-output.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0f65c7bd482f8d2f4e15fd008e92efa287fda59c Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 21 09:27:13 2023 +0000 neighbour: fix data-races around n->output [ Upstream commit 5baa0433a15eadd729625004c37463acb982eca7 ] n->output field can be read locklessly, while a writer might change the pointer concurrently. Add missing annotations to prevent load-store tearing.
