Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/spinlock/debug: Fix data-race in do_raw_write_lock
KCSAN reports:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in do_raw_write_lock / do_raw_write_lock
write (marked) to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1102 on cpu 1: do_raw_write_lock+0x120/0x204 _raw_write_lock_irq do_exit call_usermodehelper_exec_async ret_from_fork
read to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1103 on cpu 0: do_raw_write_lock+0x88/0x204 _raw_write_lock_irq do_exit call_usermodehelper_exec_async ret_from_fork
value changed: 0xffffffff -> 0x00000001
Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 0 PID: 1103 Comm: kworker/u4:1 6.1.111
Commit 1a365e822372 ("locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data races") has adressed most of these races, but seems to be not consistent/not complete.
>From do_raw_write_lock() only debug_write_lock_after() part has been converted to WRITE_ONCE(), but not debug_write_lock_before() part. Do it now.
