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. A data race flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RxRPC protocol implementation. The last_tx_at field is accessed without proper synchronization between rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker() and rxrpc_send_data_packet(). Additionally, on 32-bit architectures, the 64-bit last_tx_at value can experience load/store tearing. The fix changes the field to an unsigned int to prevent tearing and silence the KCSAN warning.
