Subject: [PATCH -next] locking/osq_lock: mark an intentional data race
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2020 09:50:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200131145038.2386-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

node->next could be accessed concurrently as reported by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in osq_lock / osq_unlock

 write (marked) to 0xffff8bb2f1abbe40 of 8 bytes by task 1138 on cpu 44:
  osq_lock+0x149/0x340 kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:143
  __mutex_lock+0x277/0xd20 kernel/locking/mutex.c:657
  mutex_lock_nested+0x31/0x40
  kernfs_iop_getattr+0x58/0x90

  __x64_sys_newfstat+0x3a/0x50
  do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

 read to 0xffff8bb2f1abbe40 of 8 bytes by task 1150 on cpu 29:
  osq_unlock+0xee/0x170 kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:78
  __mutex_lock+0xb68/0xd20 kernel/locking/mutex.c:686
  mutex_lock_nested+0x31/0x40
  kernfs_iop_getattr+0x58/0x90
  vfs_getattr_nosec+0x11a/0x170
  vfs_statx_fd+0x54/0x90
  __do_sys_newfstat+0x40/0x90
  __x64_sys_newfstat+0x3a/0x50
  do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

This is a false positive. Since even if that load is shattered the code
will function correctly -- it checks for any !0 value, any byte
composite that is !0 is sufficient. Hence, mark it as an intentional
data race using the data_race() macro.
