McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 15:58:22 -08:00 rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_node ->qsmaskinitnext The rcu_state structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field is read locklessly, so this commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely for systems not doing incessant CPU-hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
