Subject[PATCH] fscrypt: avoid data race on fscrypt_mode::logged_impl_name
Date
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

The access to logged_impl_name is technically a data race, which tools
like KCSAN could complain about in the future. See:
https://github.com/google/ktsan/wiki/READ_ONCE-and-WRITE_ONCE

Fix by using xchg(), which also ensures that only one thread does the
logging.
