From 2906d2154cd6ad6e4452cc25315d3cea7bb7f2d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2020 15:17:12 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_state ->gp_req_activity The rcu_state structure's ->gp_req_activity field is read locklessly, so this commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
