Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/3] rcu-tasks: *_ONCE() for rcu_tasks_cbs_head
Date:   Fri, 14 Feb 2020 16:25:18 -0800
Message-Id: <20200215002520.15746-1-paulmck@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20200215002446.GA15663@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

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

The RCU tasks list of callbacks, rcu_tasks_cbs_head, is sampled locklessly
by rcu_tasks_kthread() when waiting for work to do.  This commit therefore
applies READ_ONCE() to that lockless sampling and WRITE_ONCE() to the
single potential store outside of rcu_tasks_kthread.

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
