This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find() to the 6.11-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: ipv4-ip_tunnel-fix-suspicious-rcu-usage-warning-in-i.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f443ccf96415fe21b45445da8b79b00ab612d765 Author: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 23 15:30:09 2024 +0300 ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find() [ Upstream commit 90e0569dd3d32f4f4d2ca691d3fa5a8a14a13c12 ] The per-netns IP tunnel hash table is protected by the RTNL mutex and ip_tunnel_find() is only called from the control path where the mutex is taken. Add a lockdep expression to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() in ip_tunnel_find() in order to validate that the mutex is held and to silence the suspicious RCU usage warning [1].
