This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sbitmap: use READ_ONCE to access map->word to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sbitmap-use-read_once-to-access-map-word.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d9467d923cb0bd7b6e1e9ff47ddcb2b9947355c8 Author: linke li <lilinke99@xxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 26 18:34:44 2024 +0800 sbitmap: use READ_ONCE to access map->word [ Upstream commit 6ad0d7e0f4b68f87a98ea2b239123b7d865df86b ] In __sbitmap_queue_get_batch(), map->word is read several times, and update atomically using atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(). But the first two read of map->word is not protected. This patch moves the statement val = READ_ONCE(map->word) forward, eliminating unprotected accesses to map->word within the function. It is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.
