commit 78ec6f9df6642418411c534683da6133e0962ec7 upstream. A data-race issue in memcg rstat occurs when two distinct code paths access the same 4-byte region concurrently. KCSAN detection triggers the following BUG as a result. BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __count_memcg_events / mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush write to 0xffffe8ffff98e300 of 4 bytes by task 5274 on cpu 17: mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush (mm/memcontrol.c:5850) cgroup_rstat_flush_locked (kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:243 (discriminator 7)) cgroup_rstat_flush (./include/linux/spinlock.h:401 kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:278) mem_cgroup_flush_stats.part.0 (mm/memcontrol.c:767) memory_numa_stat_show (mm/memcontrol.c:6911) <snip> read to 0xffffe8ffff98e300 of 4 bytes by task 410848 on cpu 27: __count_memcg_events (mm/memcontrol.c:725 mm/memcontrol.c:962) count_memcg_event_mm.part.0 (./include/linux/memcontrol.h:1097 ./include/linux/memcontrol.h:1120) handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:5483 mm/memory.c:5622) <snip> value changed: 0x00000029 -> 0x00000000 The race occurs because two code paths access the same "stats_updates" location. Although "stats_updates" is a per-CPU variable, it is remotely accessed by another CPU at cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()->mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush(), leading to the data race mentioned. Considering that memcg_rstat_updated() is in the hot code path, adding a lock to protect it may not be desirable, especially since this variable pertains solely to statistics. Therefore, annotating accesses to stats_updates with READ/WRITE_ONCE() can prevent KCSAN splats and potential partial reads/writes.

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.
