[PATCH 4.14 100/166] mm/vmscan.c: fix data races using kswapd_classzone_idx

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw>

[ Upstream commit 5644e1fbbfe15ad06785502bbfe5751223e5841d ]

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,
