[ Upstream commit c09929031018913b5783872a8b8cdddef4a543c7 ] KCSAN reports data races between the rcu_segcblist_clear_flags() and rcu_segcblist_set_flags() functions, though misreporting the latter as a call to rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() from call_rcu(). This commit converts the updates of this field to WRITE_ONCE(), relying on the resulting unmarked reads to continue to detect buggy concurrent writes to this field.

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.
