[PATCH] mm: fix data race in __filemap_remove_folio / folio_mapping

[Abhishek Kumar <abhishek_sts8@yahoo.com>]

KCSAN reports a data race between page_cache_delete() and
folio_mapping():

  page_cache_delete() performs a plain store to folio->mapping:
    folio->mapping = NULL;

  folio_mapping() performs a plain load from folio->mapping:
    mapping = folio->mapping;

page_cache_delete() is called from the truncation path under the i_pages
xarray lock, while folio_mapping() is called from the reclaim path
(evict_folios -> folio_evictable -> folio_mapping) under only
rcu_read_lock() without the xarray lock.

The race is benign since the reclaim path tolerates stale values --
reading a stale non-NULL mapping simply results in a suboptimal eviction
decision.  However, the plain accesses risk store/load tearing and allow
the compiler to perform harmful optimizations (merging, elision, or
fission of the accesses).

Fix this by using WRITE_ONCE() in page_cache_delete() and READ_ONCE()
in folio_mapping() to prevent compiler misbehavior and silence the KCSAN
report.
