mm: fix data race in PagePoisoned()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
PagePoisoned() accesses page->flags which can be updated concurrently:

  | BUG: KCSAN: data-race in next_uptodate_page / unlock_page

  | write (marked) to 0xffffea00050f37c0 of 8 bytes by task 1872 on cpu 1:

To avoid the compiler tearing or otherwise optimizing the access, use
READ_ONCE() to access flags.
