Subject: [PATCH 08/10] rcu-tasks: Apply READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to fix data race
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:23:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716002339.11717-8-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bc69cc01-509e-43f8-a46a-d77946e7adc7@paulmck-laptop>

Now that rcutorture tests readers from interrupt handlers, KCSAN spotted
an additional data race.  This commit therefore fixes it by applying
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE().
