This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sched: consistently use rcu_replace_pointer() in taprio_change() to the 5.10-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: net-sched-consistently-use-rcu_replace_pointer-in-ta.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6144d3b1d35d5eccd4e9a225a1a326315580a8fb Author: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 4 14:54:01 2024 +0300 net: sched: consistently use rcu_replace_pointer() in taprio_change() [ Upstream commit d5c4546062fd6f5dbce575c7ea52ad66d1968678 ] According to Vinicius (and carefully looking through the whole https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b65e0af58423fc8a73aa once again), txtime branch of 'taprio_change()' is not going to race against 'advance_sched()'. But using 'rcu_replace_pointer()' in the former may be a good idea as well.
