Subject: mm: silence data-race in update_hiwater_rss
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=989c2f55ca4839121cbf23b5802f8513dbd54e1e;p=users%2Fhch%2Fmisc.git

mm: silence data-race in update_hiwater_rss

KCSAN reports a data race on mm_cluster.hiwater_rss, which can be accessed
concurrently from various paths like page migration and memory unmapping
without synchronization.

Since hiwater_rss is a statistical field for accounting purposes, this
data race is benign.  Annotate both the read and write accesses with
data_race() to make KCSAN happy.
