In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_unix: Fix data-race around unix_tot_inflight. unix_tot_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock), but unix_release_sock() reads it locklessly. Let's use READ_ONCE() for unix_tot_inflight. Note that the writer side was marked by commit 9d6d7f1cb67c ("af_unix: annote lockless accesses to unix_tot_inflight & gc_in_progress") BUG: KCSAN: data-race in unix_inflight / unix_release_sock write (marked) to 0xffffffff871852b8 of 4 bytes by task 123 on cpu 1: unix_inflight+0x130/0x180 net/unix/scm.c:64 unix_attach_fds+0x137/0x1b0 net/unix/scm.c:123 unix_scm_to_skb net/unix/af_unix.c:1832 [inline] unix_dgram_sendmsg+0x46a/0x14f0 net/unix/af_unix.c:1955 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:724 [inline] sock_sendmsg+0x148/0x160 net/socket.c:747 ____sys_sendmsg+0x4e4/0x610 net/socket.c:2493 ___sys_sendmsg+0xc6/0x140 net/socket.c:2547 __sys_sendmsg+0x94/0x140 net/socket.c:2576 __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2585 [inline] __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2583 [inline] __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x45/0x50 net/socket.c:2583 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc read to 0xffffffff871852b8 of 4 bytes by task 4891 on cpu 0: unix_release_sock+0x608/0x910 net/unix/af_unix.c:671 unix_release+0x59/0x80 net/unix/af_unix.c:1058 __sock_release+0x7d/0x170 net/socket.c:653 sock_close+0x19/0x30 net/socket.c:1385 __fput+0x179/0x5e0 fs/file_table
