CVE-2025-38037

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vxlan: Annotate FDB data races

The 'used' and 'updated' fields in the FDB entry structure can be accessed concurrently by multiple threads, leading to reports such as [1]. Can be reproduced using [2].

Suppress these reports by annotating these accesses using READONCE() / WRITEONCE().
