When reading the pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_alloc() and writing the pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_update_empty_pages() at the same time, the data-race occurs. =========== read-write to 0xffffffff882fdd4c of 4 bytes by task 9424 on cpu 0: pcpu_update_empty_pages pcpu_chunk_populated pcpu_balance_populated pcpu_balance_workfn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork read to 0xffffffff882fdd4c of 4 bytes by task 9386 on cpu 3: pcpu_alloc __alloc_percpu_gfp fib_nh_common_init fib_nh_init fib_create_info fib_table_insert fib_magic ...... sock_sendmsg_nosec sock_sendmsg __sys_sendto __do_sys_sendto __se_sys_sendto __x64_sys_sendto do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ============ The same problem will occur in these functions: pcpu_reclaim_populated(), pcpu_update_empty_pages(), pcpu_isolate_chunk(). To fix this issue, use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to read and write the pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages.
