Subject: [RFC PATCH 03/10] sched: snapshot thread flags
Date: Wed,  9 Jun 2021 13:19:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210609122001.18277-4-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210609122001.18277-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are
disabled, the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is
unlikely to cause a problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and
KCSAN will legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, we should snapshot the flags prior to using them.
Let's use the new helpers to do so in the common sched code.
