Subject: [PATCH] timers: Move clearing of base::timer_running under base::lock
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.17-rt32.tar.xz
syzbot reported KCSAN data races vs. timer_base::timer_running being set to
NULL without holding base::lock in expire_timers().
This looks innocent and most reads are clearly not problematic but for a
non-RT kernel it's completely irrelevant whether the store happens before
or after taking the lock. For an RT kernel moving the store under the lock
requires an extra unlock/lock pair in the case that there is a waiter for
the timer. But that's not the end of the world and definitely not worth the
trouble of adding boatloads of comments and annotations to the code. Famous
last words...
