From: Zilin Guan <zilinguan811@xxxxxxxxx> There is one access to the per-CPU rdp->gpwrap field in the __note_gp_changes() function that does not use READ_ONCE(), but all other accesses do use READ_ONCE(). When using the 8*TREE03 and CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8 configuration, KCSAN found no data races at that point. This is because all calls to __note_gp_changes() hold rnp->lock, which excludes writes to the rdp->gpwrap fields for all CPUs associated with that same leaf rcu_node structure. This commit therefore removes READ_ONCE() from rdp->gpwrap accesses within the __note_gp_changes() function. Signed-off-by: Zilin Guan <zilinguan811@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
