I'm wondering whether you really should move so soon to ignoring these races?
They are still races; the crypto code is doing standard unannotated reads/writes
of memory that can be concurrently modified.

The issue is that fixing it would require adding READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE() in
hundreds of different places, affecting most crypto-related .c files.

Generally, since encryption and hash algorithms are designed to handle arbitrary
data anyway, getting different values on each read won't crash the code. So
hopefully this isn't a "real" problem. But it's still undefined behavior.
