Subject: timers: Add missing READ_ONCE() in __run_timer_base()
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 08:53:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a5emyqk0.ffs@tglx> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202410301205.ef8e9743-lkp@intel.com>
__run_timer_base() checks base::next_expiry without holding
base::lock. That can race with a remote CPU updating next_expiry under the
lock. This is an intentional and harmless data race, but lacks a
READ_ONCE(), so KCSAN complains about this.
Add the missing READ_ONCE(). All other places are covered already.
Fixes: 79f8b28e85f8 ("timers: Annotate possible non critical data race of next_expiry")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com>
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202410301205.ef8e9743-lkp@intel.com
