The race was when a thread using closure_sync() notices cl->s->done == 1 before the thread calling closure_put() calls wake_up_process(). Then, it's possible for that thread to return and exit just before wake_up_process() is called - so we're trying to wake up a process that no longer exists. rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to protect against this, as there's an rcu barrier somewhere in the process teardown path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
