5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6474353a5e3d0b2cf610153cea0c61f576a36d0a ] Epoll relies on a racy fastpath check during __fput() in eventpoll_release() to avoid the hit of pointlessly acquiring a semaphore. Annotate that race by using WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE().
