Subject: [PATCH v2] block/blk-cgroup-rwstat: use data_race() for online test
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 21:34:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803133400.137906-1-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
blkg_rwstat_recursive_sum() reads pos_blkg->online without the queue
lock that its doc comment requires, since blkcg_print_blkgs() stopped
holding it in 56cc24f59c14. Concurrent blkg_create/destroy flips
->online, tripping KCSAN. The race is harmless (RCU-protected, stale
online only causes minor stat noise). Use data_race() to annotate
the intentional lockless read.
Also update the stale doc comment that still requires the queue lock.
Reviewed-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>

Changes in v2:
- Update the stale kernel-doc comment that still mandates the queue lock.
