Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
rcu/kvfree: Fix data-race in __mod_timer / kvfree_call_rcu<br />
<br />
KCSAN reports a data race when access the krcp->monitor_work.timer.expires<br />
variable in the schedule_delayed_monitor_work() function:<br />

Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:<br />
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 56 Comm: kworker/u8:4 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc2-syzkaller-00050-g5b7c893ed5ed #0<br />
Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 09/13/2024<br />
Workqueue: events_unbound kfree_rcu_monitor<br />
<br />
<br />
kfree_rcu_monitor() rearms the work if a "krcp" has to be still<br />
offloaded and this is done without holding krcp->lock, whereas<br />
the kvfree_call_rcu() holds it.<br />
<br />
Fix it by acquiring the "krcp->lock" for kfree_rcu_monitor() so<br />
both functions do not race anymore.
