Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix data-race warning and potential load/store tearing
Fix the following:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker / rxrpc_send_data_packet
which is reporting an issue with the reads and writes to ->last_tx_at in:
conn->peer->last_tx_at = ktime_get_seconds();
and:
keepalive_at = peer->last_tx_at + RXRPC_KEEPALIVE_TIME;
The lockless accesses to these to values aren't actually a problem as the
read only needs an approximate time of last transmission for the purposes
of deciding whether or not the transmission of a keepalive packet is
warranted yet.
Also, as ->last_tx_at is a 64-bit value, tearing can occur on a 32-bit
arch.
Fix both of these by switching to an unsigned int for ->last_tx_at and only
storing the LSW of the time64_t. It can then be reconstructed at need
provided no more than 68 years has elapsed since the last transmission.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.17 < 6.12.69)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.8)
• linux linux kernel 6.19
