Wanted to follow up on this, just to clarify: The issue here
essentially boils down to a user-space race involving an API that
isn't designed to be thread-safe with the provided arguments (pointer
to same user-space memory). The data race here merely manifests in
kernel code, but otherwise the kernel is unaffected (if it were
affected, a real fix would be needed). I.e. if we observe this data
race, KCSAN is helpfully pointing out that user space has a bug.

There are some options to deal with cases like this:

1. Do nothing, and just let KCSAN report the data race.

2. Somehow make KCSAN distinguish in-kernel data races that are due to
user space misusing the API. KCSAN can still show the race, but
clearly denote the nature of it by e.g. saying "KCSAN: user data-race
in ..." (instead of "KCSAN: data-race in ..."). This will require one
of 2 things:

    a. Distinguish the access by memory range. This doesn't seem
great, because I don't know if we can apply a general rule like "all
races involving this memory are user-space's fault". What if we have
data races in the memory range that aren't user-space's fault?

    b. Mark the accesses somehow, either by providing a region in
which all races are deemed user-space's fault. This is likely more
problematic than (a), because saying something like "all races in this
section of code are user-space's fault" may also hide real issues.

Because none of (2.a) or (2.b) seem great, at present I would opt for (1).

Anything better we can do here?

Thanks,
-- Marco
