[PATCH 6.6 110/196] ipvs: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for ipvs->enable

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhang Tengfei <zhtfdev@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 944b6b216c0387ac3050cd8b773819ae360bfb1c ]

KCSAN reported a data-race on the `ipvs->enable` flag, which is
written in the control path and read concurrently from many other
contexts.

Following a suggestion by Julian, this patch fixes the race by
converting all accesses to use `WRITE_ONCE()/READ_ONCE()`.
This lightweight approach ensures atomic access and acts as a
compiler barrier, preventing unsafe optimizations where the flag
is checked in loops (e.g., in ip_vs_est.c).

Additionally, the `enable` checks in the fast-path hooks
(`ip_vs_in_hook`, `ip_vs_out_hook`, `ip_vs_forward_icmp`) are
removed. These are unnecessary since commit 857ca89711de
("ipvs: register hooks only with services"). The `enable=0`
condition they check for can only occur in two rare and non-fatal
scenarios: 1) after hooks are registered but before the flag is set,
and 2) after hooks are unregistered on cleanup_net. In the worst
case, a single packet might be mishandled (e.g., dropped), which
does not lead to a system crash or data corruption. Adding a check
in the performance-critical fast-path to handle this harmless
condition is not a worthwhile trade-off.
