From: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d5c4546062fd6f5dbce575c7ea52ad66d1968678 ] According to Vinicius (and carefully looking through the whole https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b65e0af58423fc8a73aa once again), txtime branch of 'taprio_change()' is not going to race against 'advance_sched()'. But using 'rcu_replace_pointer()' in the former may be a good idea as well.
