Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 11/37] virtio_ring: Fix data race by tagging event_triggered as racy for KCSAN

From: Zhongqiu Han <quic_zhonhan@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 2e2f925fe737576df2373931c95e1a2b66efdfef ]

syzbot reports a data-race when accessing the event_triggered, here is the
simplified stack when the issue occurred:

==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in virtqueue_disable_cb / virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed

write to 0xffff8881025bc452 of 1 bytes by task 3288 on cpu 0:
 virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed+0x42/0x3c0 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2653

 handle_irq_event_percpu kernel/irq/handle.c:193 [inline]

value changed: 0x01 -> 0x00
==================================================================

When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used.

Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.
