[ Upstream commit 6040072f4774a575fa67b912efe7722874be337b ] 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.

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.
