[PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/19] rcu: Mark rcu_state.ncpus to detect concurrent writes
From: paulmck
Date: Wed Apr 15 2020 - 13:11:08 EST
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
The rcu_state structure's ncpus field is only to be modified by the
CPU-hotplug CPU-online code path, which is single-threaded. This
commit therefore enlists KCSAN's help in enforcing this restriction.
