[PATCH -next] mm/kmemleak: annotate a data race in checksum

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Feb 11 2020 - 11:24:20 EST


The value of object->pointer could be accessed concurrently as noticed
by KCSAN,

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in crc32_le_base / do_raw_spin_lock

write to 0xffffb0ea683a7d50 of 4 bytes by task 23575 on cpu 12:

Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019

crc32() will dereference object->pointer. If a shattered value was
returned due to a data race, it will be corrected in the next scan.
Thus, annotate it as an intentional data race using the data_race()
macro.
