Subject: [PATCH -next] mm: mark a intentional data race in page_zonenum()
Date: Wed,  5 Feb 2020 22:52:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200206035235.2537-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

The commit 07d802699528 ("mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for
ZONE_DEVICE pages") introduced a data race as page->flags could be
accessed concurrently as noticied by KCSAN,

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 69 PID: 94817 Comm: systemd-udevd Tainted: G        W  O L 5.5.0-next-20200204+ #6
 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019

Both the read and write are done only with the non-exclusive mmap_sem
held. Since the read only check for a specific bit in the flag, even if
load tearing happens, it will be harmless, so just mark it as an
intentional data races using the data_race() macro.
