The patch solves three weaknesses in ipc/sem.c: 1) The initial read of use_global_lock in sem_lock() is an intentional race. KCSAN detects these accesses and prints a warning. 2) The code assumes that plain C read/writes are not mangled by the CPU or the compiler. 3) The comment it sysvipc_sem_proc_show() was hard to understand: The rest of the comments in ipc/sem.c speaks about sem_perm.lock, and suddenly this function speaks about ipc_lock_object(). To solve 1) and 2), use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(). Plain C reads are used in code that owns sma->sem_perm.lock. The comment is updated to solve 3) [manfred@colorfullife.com: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for use_global_lock] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210627161919.3196-3-manfred@colorfullife.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210514175319.12195-1-manfred@colorfullife.com Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

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.
