From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The rcu_node structure's ->qsmask 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. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
