Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/vmscan: fix data races at kswapd_classzone_idx
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2020 22:58:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200226035827.1285-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)
pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx could be accessed concurrently in
wakeup_kswapd(). Plain writes and reads without any lock protection
result in data races. Fix them by adding a pair of READ|WRITE_ONCE() as
well as saving a branch (compilers might well optimize the original code
in an unintentional way anyway). While at it, also take care of
pgdat->kswapd_order and non-kswapd threads in allow_direct_reclaim().
The data races were reported by KCSAN,

v2: use a temp variable and take care of kswapd_order per Matthew.
take care of allow_direct_reclaim() as well.
