Qian Cai 7e0cc01ea1 mm/swap.c: annotate data races for lru_rotate_pvecs
Read to lru_add_pvec->nr could be interrupted and then write to the same
variable.  The write has local interrupt disabled, but the plain reads
result in data races.  However, it is unlikely the compilers could do much
damage here given that lru_add_pvec->nr is a "unsigned char" and there is
an existing compiler barrier.  Thus, annotate the reads using the
data_race() macro.  The data races were reported by KCSAN,

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
