McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20230715004711.2938489-3-joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f8ab3fad80dddf3f2cecb53983063c4431058ca1 ] There are several ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs data races that are too low-probability for KCSAN to notice, but which will happen sooner or later. This commit therefore marks these accesses. Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 5.10.x Signed-off-by: Paul E.
