[PATCH rcu/next 1/3] rcu/tree: Use READ_ONCE() for lockless read of rnp->qsmask

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Wed Sep 14 2022 - 20:14:43 EST


The rnp->qsmask is locklessly accessed from rcutree_dying_cpu(). This
may help avoid load tearing due to concurrent access, KCSAN
issues, and preserve sanity of people reading the mask in tracing.
