Subject: [PATCH] locking/osq_lock: fix a data race in osq_wait_next
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 11:38:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200122163857.4605-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

KCSAN complains,

 write (marked) to 0xffff941ca3b3be00 of 8 bytes by task 670 on cpu 6:
  osq_lock+0x24c/0x340
  __mutex_lock+0x277/0xd20
  mutex_lock_nested+0x31/0x40
  memcg_create_kmem_cache+0x2e/0x190
  memcg_kmem_cache_create_func+0x40/0x80
  process_one_work+0x54c/0xbe0
  worker_thread+0x80/0x650
  kthread+0x1e0/0x200
  ret_from_fork+0x27/0x50

 read to 0xffff941ca3b3be00 of 8 bytes by task 703 on cpu 44:
  osq_lock+0x18e/0x340
  __mutex_lock+0x277/0xd20
  mutex_lock_nested+0x31/0x40
  memcg_create_kmem_cache+0x2e/0x190
  memcg_kmem_cache_create_func+0x40/0x80
  process_one_work+0x54c/0xbe0
  worker_thread+0x80/0x650
  kthread+0x1e0/0x200
  ret_from_fork+0x27/0x50

which points to those lines in osq_wait_next(),

  next = xchg(&node->next, NULL);
  if (next)
	break;

Since only the read is outside of critical sections, fixed it by adding
a READ_ONCE().
