From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d1b5bee4c8be01585033be9b3a8878789285285f ] There is a known race in packet_sendmsg(), addressed in commit 32d3182cd2cd ("net/packet: fix race in tpacket_snd()") Now we have data_race(), we can use it to avoid a future KCSAN warning, as syzbot loves stressing af_packet sockets :) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
