Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/30] rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE to rcu_node ->exp_seq_rq store
Date:   Fri, 14 Feb 2020 15:55:43 -0800
Message-Id: <20200214235607.13749-6-paulmck@kernel.org>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

The rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_rq field is read locklessly, so
this commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to a load 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.
