rcu: Fix data-race due to atomic_t copy-by-value
This fixes a data-race where `atomic_t dynticks` is copied by value. The copy is performed non-atomically, resulting in a data-race if `dynticks` is updated concurrently. This data-race was found with KCSAN: ================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in dyntick_save_progress_counter / rcu_irq_enter write to 0xffff989dbdbe98e0 of 4 bytes by task 10 on cpu 3: atomic_add_return include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h:78 [inline] rcu_dynticks_snap kernel/rcu/tree.c:310 [inline] dyntick_save_progress_counter+0x43/0x1b0 kernel/rcu/tree.c:984 force_qs_rnp+0x183/0x200 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2286 rcu_gp_fqs kernel/rcu/tree.c:1601 [inline] rcu_gp_fqs_loop+0x71/0x880 kernel/rcu/tree.c:1653 rcu_gp_kthread+0x22c/0x3b0 kernel/rcu/tree.c:1799 kthread+0x1b5/0x200 kernel/kthread.c:255 <snip> read to 0xffff989dbdbe98e0 of 4 bytes by task 154 on cpu 7: rcu_nmi_enter_common kernel/rcu/tree.c:828 [inline] rcu_irq_enter+0xda/0x240 kernel/rcu/tree.c:870 irq_enter+0x5/0x50 kernel/softirq.c:347 <snip> Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 7 PID: 154 Comm: kworker/7:1H Not tainted 5.3.0+ #5 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_run_work_fn ================================================================== Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Cc: Paul E.
