Seems reasonable to me.  This one is already inn -tip:

c48981eeb0d5 ("include/linux/compiler.h: Introduce data_race(expr) macro")

This is in tip/WIP.locking/kcsan, so I am adding Ingo on CC.

Ingo, how would you like to proceed?  For example, if it would be
helpful, I could rebase that commit on top of rcu/for-mingo and send a
pull request.
