Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list

KCSAN reported a data-race when accessing node->ref. Although node->ref does not have to be accurate, take this chance to use a more common READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() pattern instead of data_race().

There is an existing bpf_lru_node_is_ref() and bpf_lru_node_set_ref(). This patch also adds bpf_lru_node_clear_ref() to do the WRITE_ONCE(node->ref, 0) also.
