Subject: [PATCH -stable v5.10 1/3] rcu-tasks: Mark ->trc_reader_nesting data races
Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2023 00:47:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230715004711.2938489-2-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230715004711.2938489-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit bdb0cca0d11060fce8a8a44588ac1470c25d62bc ]

There are several ->trc_reader_nesting data races that are too
low-probability for KCSAN to notice, but which will happen sooner or
later.  This commit therefore marks these accesses, and comments one
that cannot race.
