Subject: mm/shmem: annotate benign data-race in shmem_getattr()
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 13:19:41 +0200

shmem_getattr() reads info->alloced, info->swapped and i_mapping->nrpages without info->lock to decide whether shmem_recalc_inode() should be called. shmem_recalc_inode() recomputes these under info->lock, so a stale read here only affects whether shmem_recalc_inode() runs.

Annotate data_race() to silence KCSAN.
