[PATCH] xfs: fix data races in inode->i_*time

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Feb 25 2020 - 15:10:00 EST


inode->i_*time could be accessed concurrently. The plain reads in
xfs_vn_getattr() is lockless which result in data races. To avoid bad
compiler optimizations like load tearing, adding pairs of
READ|WRITE_ONCE(). While at it, also take care of xfs_setattr_time()
which presumably could run concurrently with xfs_vn_getattr() as well.
The data races were reported by KCSAN,
