[PATCH 0/2] lib/find: Fix KCSAN warnings in find_*_bit() functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

KCSAN issues a lot of warnings for various find_*_bit() functions. This is
because some users (such as xarray) use these functions without protection from
concurrent modifications (e.g. xarray tag searching is protected only by RCU)
and find_*_bit() implementations are indeed prone to refetching values from
memory with undefined results. This series fixes these problems. See patch 1
for more details.

Mirsad, can you give these patches testing on your setup? Thanks!
