[ Upstream commit 6040072f47 ]
On powerpc systems, spinlock acquisition does not order prior stores
against later loads. This means that this statement:
rfcp->rfc_next = NULL;
Can be reordered to follow this statement:
WRITE_ONCE(*rfcpp, rfcp);
Which is then a data race with rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr(), specifically,
this statement:
rfcpn = READ_ONCE(rfcp->rfc_next)
KCSAN located this data race, which represents a real failure on powerpc.
