From 7ad639840acf2800b5f387c495795f995a67a329 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2021 13:06:43 +0000 Subject: thread_info: Add helpers to snapshot thread flags In there are helpers to manipulate individual thread flags, but where code wants to check several flags at once, it must open code reading current_thread_info()->flags and operating on a snapshot. As some flags can be set remotely it's necessary to use READ_ONCE() to get a consistent snapshot even when IRQs are disabled, but some code forgets to do this. Generally this is unlike to cause a problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will legitimately warn that there is a data race. To make it easier to do the right thing, and to highlight that concurrent modification is possible, add new helpers to snapshot the flags, which should be used in preference to plain reads. Subsequent patches will move existing code to use the new helpers. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Marco Elver Acked-by: Paul E.
