In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix data race at btrfs_use_block_rsv() when accessing block reserve

At btrfs_use_block_rsv() we read the size of a block reserve without locking its spinlock, which makes KCSAN complain because the size of a block reserve is always updated while holding its spinlock. The report from KCSAN is the following:

[653.313148] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in btrfs_update_delayed_refs_rsv [btrfs] / btrfs_use_block_rsv [btrfs]

So add a helper to get the size of a block reserve while holding the lock. Reading the field while holding the lock instead of using the data_race() annotation is used in order to prevent load tearing.
