[PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/30] rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_node ->qsmaskinitnext

From: paulmck
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 18:56:45 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

The rcu_state structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field is read locklessly,
so this commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide
proper documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing.

This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely for systems not doing incessant CPU-hotplug
operations.
