From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> The access to logged_impl_name is technically a data race, which tools like KCSAN could complain about in the future. See: https://github.com/google/ktsan/wiki/READ_ONCE-and-WRITE_ONCE Fix by using xchg(), which also ensures that only one thread does the logging.
