From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The rcu_sync structure's ->gp_count field is updated under the protection of ->rss_lock, but read locklessly, and KCSAN noted the data race. This commit therefore uses WRITE_ONCE() to do this update to clearly document its racy nature. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
