[PATCH] dm-switch: use WRITE_ONCE() in switch_region_table_write()
From: Haotian Zhang
Date: Sat Jul 11 2026 - 10:23:50 EST
switch_region_table_read() accesses the region table with READ_ONCE()
and is called from the lockless switch_map() IO path. However,
switch_region_table_write() stores to the same array with a plain
assignment. This results in an inconsistent access pattern for a
lockless shared variable and may trigger data race reports.
Use WRITE_ONCE() to pair with the existing READ_ONCE() in
switch_region_table_read().
