In __sbitmap_queue_get_batch(), map->word is read several times, and update atomically using atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(). But the first two read of map->word is not protected. This patch moves the statement val = READ_ONCE(map->word) forward, eliminating unprotected accesses to map->word within the function. It is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.
