Subject: [PATCH rcu/next 1/3] rcu/tree: Use READ_ONCE() for lockless read of rnp->qsmask
Date:   Thu, 15 Sep 2022 00:14:17 +0000
Message-Id: <20220915001419.55617-2-joel@joelfernandes.org>

The rnp->qsmask is locklessly accessed from rcutree_dying_cpu(). This
may help avoid load tearing due to concurrent access, KCSAN
issues, and preserve sanity of people reading the mask in tracing.
