The initialization normally happens in init_kmem_cache_node() when it's called from init_kmem_cache_nodes(), but only after the struct kmem_cache_node is published. To avoid what appears to be a data race, we need to publish the struct after it has been initialized. KMSAN (https://github.com/google/kmsan) report is as follows: ================================================================== BUG: KMSAN: use of uninitialized memory in
