![]() Based on the discussion at [1], it would be helpful to mark certain variables as explicitly "data racy", which would result in KCSAN not reporting data races involving any accesses on such variables. To do that, introduce the __data_racy type qualifier: struct foo { ... int __data_racy bar; ... }; In KCSAN-kernels, __data_racy turns into volatile, which KCSAN already treats specially by considering them "marked". In non-KCSAN kernels the type qualifier turns into no-op. The generated code between KCSAN-instrumented kernels and non-KCSAN kernels is already huge (inserted calls into runtime for every memory access), so the extra generated code (if any) due to volatile for few such __data_racy variables are unlikely to have measurable impact on performance.
