From 2da23eb07c91241d962f3ff05565065484cd8929 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 16:02:01 +0000 Subject: ipv6: lockless IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS implementation This fixes data-races around np->mcast_hops, and make IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS lockless. Note that np->mcast_hops is never negative, thus can fit an u8 field instead of s16. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
