Hello,
When using Syzkaller to fuzz the latest Linux kernel, the following
crash was triggered.
HEAD commit: a7904a538933 Linux 5.16-rc6
git tree: upstream
console output: KCSAN: data-race in tick_nohz_stop_tick / tick_nohz_stop_tick
kernel config: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QB39MJKWKb/plain/
Syzlang reproducer: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Xtr5t49Jv6/plain/
If you fix this issue, please add the following tag to the commit:
Reported-by: Hypericum <hypericumperforatum4444@xxxxxxxxx>
I think there are two threads visit the variable tick_do_timer_cpu
without locking.
