This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pktgen: use cpus_read_lock() in pg_net_init() to the 6.10-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: pktgen-use-cpus_read_lock-in-pg_net_init.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d747dfe13cdcad62a2e282585c4ade837b461a5b Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 21 17:53:39 2024 +0000 pktgen: use cpus_read_lock() in pg_net_init() [ Upstream commit 979b581e4c69257acab1af415ddad6b2d78a2fa5 ] I have seen the WARN_ON(smp_processor_id() != cpu) firing in pktgen_thread_worker() during tests. We must use cpus_read_lock()/cpus_read_unlock() around the for_each_online_cpu(cpu) loop. While we are at it use WARN_ON_ONCE() to avoid a possible syslog flood.
