[PATCH] mm/kmemleak: silence KCSAN splats in checksum

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Mar 17 2020 - 14:28:25 EST


Even if KCSAN is disabled for kmemleak, update_checksum() could still
call crc32() (which is outside of kmemleak.c) to dereference
object->pointer. Thus, 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:
do_raw_spin_lock+0x114/0x200
debug_spin_lock_after at kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:91
(inlined by) do_raw_spin_lock at kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:115
_raw_spin_lock+0x40/0x50
__handle_mm_fault+0xa9e/0xd00
handle_mm_fault+0xfc/0x2f0
do_page_fault+0x263/0x6f9
page_fault+0x34/0x40

read to 0xffffb0ea683a7d50 of 4 bytes by task 839 on cpu 60:
crc32_le_base+0x67/0x350
crc32_le_base+0x67/0x350:
crc32_body at lib/crc32.c:106
(inlined by) crc32_le_generic at lib/crc32.c:179
(inlined by) crc32_le at lib/crc32.c:197
kmemleak_scan+0x528/0xd90
update_checksum at mm/kmemleak.c:1172
(inlined by) kmemleak_scan at mm/kmemleak.c:1497
kmemleak_scan_thread+0xcc/0xfa
kthread+0x1e0/0x200
ret_from_fork+0x27/0x50

If a shattered value was returned due to a data race, it will be
corrected in the next scan. Thus, let KCSAN ignore all reads in the
region to silence KCSAN in case the write side is non-atomic.
