From 87654cf7a9865c0be256d67229b7354125d7498e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: linke li Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2024 11:48:15 +0800 Subject: mm/slub: mark racy accesses on slab->slabs The reads of slab->slabs are racy because it may be changed by put_cpu_partial concurrently. In slabs_cpu_partial_show() and show_slab_objects(), slab->slabs is only used for showing information. Data-racy reads from shared variables that are used only for diagnostic purposes should typically use data_race(), since it is normally not a problem if the values are off by a little. This patch is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.
