[PATCH rcu 6/9] rcu: Mark writes to the rcu_segcblist structure's ->flags field

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Feb 04 2022 - 18:08:14 EST


KCSAN reports data races between the rcu_segcblist_clear_flags() and
rcu_segcblist_set_flags() functions, though misreporting the latter
as a call to rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() from call_rcu(). This commit
converts the updates of this field to WRITE_ONCE(), relying on the
resulting unmarked reads to continue to detect buggy concurrent writes
to this field.
