From 24bb9eccf7ff335c16c2970ac7cd5c32a92821a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2019 19:55:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Fix exp_funnel_lock()/rcu_exp_wait_wake() datarace The rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_rq field is accessed locklessly, so updates must use WRITE_ONCE(). This commit therefore adds the needed WRITE_ONCE() invocation where it was missed. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely.
