[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/4] srcu: Fix __call_srcu()/srcu_get_delay() datarace

From: paulmck
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 19:29:46 EST


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

The srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp field is accessed
locklessly, so updates must use WRITE_ONCE(). This commit therefore
adds the needed WRITE_ONCE() invocations.

This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
