From: Kuniyuki Iwashima Subject: pipe: make poll_usage boolean and annotate its access Patch series "Fix data-races around epoll reported by KCSAN." This series suppresses a false positive KCSAN's message and fixes a real data-race. This patch (of 2): pipe_poll() runs locklessly and assigns 1 to poll_usage. Once poll_usage is set to 1, it never changes in other places. However, concurrent writes of a value trigger KCSAN, so let's make KCSAN happy.
