From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp field is accessed locklessly, so updates must use WRITE_ONCE(). This commit therefore adds the needed WRITE_ONCE() invocations. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
