Hi Ilya,

Yes, it looks clear and makes sense to have an atomic operation in if statement
but it still triggers warning. KEEPALIVE_PENDING should be set after
clear_standby() because con_fault() can be called right before acquiring the
lock here which sets the flag in standby state. I tesed the change with syzbot
and confirmed there was no warning.

Thanks,
Myungho
