[merged mm-stable] mm-memcg-use-read_once-write_once-to-access-stock-nr_pages.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: memcg: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to access stock->nr_pages
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memcg-use-read_once-write_once-to-access-stock-nr_pages.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: memcg: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to access stock->nr_pages
Date: Wed, 1 May 2024 02:54:20 -0700

A memcg pointer in the per-cpu stock can be accessed by
drain_all_stock() and consume_stock() in parallel, causing a potential
race, which is believed to e harmless.

KCSAN shows this data-race clearly in the splat below:

	BUG: KCSAN: data-race in drain_all_stock.part.0 / try_charge_memcg

	write to 0xffff88903f8b0788 of 4 bytes by task 35901 on cpu 2:

	ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:257)

	value changed: 0x00000014 -> 0x00000013

This happens because drain_all_stock() is reading stock->nr_pages, while
consume_stock() might be updating the same address, causing a potential
data-race.

Make the shared addresses bulletproof regarding to reads and writes,
similarly to what stock->cached_objcg and stock->cached.
Annotate all accesses to stock->nr_pages with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().
