Subject: [PATCH] can: vcan: use per-CPU device stats
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 17:06:11 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007113611.2082-1-yogeshgaur.83@gmail.com> (raw)
vcan_tx() and vcan_rx() update dev->stats with plain increments and
rely on the tx queue lock to serialise them. That only holds for a
single tx queue. vcan does not implement get_num_tx_queues(), so
rtnl_create_link() honours IFLA_NUM_TX_QUEUES and a vcan device can be
created with several queues, each with its own xmit lock. Two CPUs
transmitting on different queues then update the same counters
concurrently and lose increments:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in vcan_tx / vcan_tx
read-write to 0xffff88811aad8228 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 1:
vcan_tx+0x325/0x5d0 drivers/net/can/vcan.c:110
dev_hard_start_xmit+0x10c/0x380 net/core/dev.c:3969
__dev_queue_xmit+0xbfd/0x1ec0 net/core/dev.c:4958
can_send+0x584/0x720 net/can/af_can.c:279
bcm_can_tx+0x3ba/0x5b0 net/can/bcm.c:367
read-write to 0xffff88811aad8228 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 0:
vcan_tx+0x325/0x5d0 drivers/net/can/vcan.c:110
value changed: 0x00000000000025ef -> 0x00000000000025f0
Switch the packet and byte counters to the core's per-CPU dstats.
The core allocates them for NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS and folds them
together with dev->stats in dev_get_stats(), so tx_dropped from
can_dropped_invalid_skb() is still reported.
