Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] ipv4: igmp: annotate data-races around im->users
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 18:39:06 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522093906.39764-1-sigefriedhyy@gmail.com> (raw)

/proc/net/igmp walks IPv4 multicast memberships under RCU and
prints im->users without holding RTNL, while multicast join and leave
paths update the field while holding RTNL. Annotate this intentional
lockless snapshot with READ_ONCE() and the matching writers with
WRITE_ONCE().

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
