Mirsad Goran Todorovac fe48ba7dae workqueue: fix data race with the pwq->stats[] increment
KCSAN has discovered a data race in kernel/workqueue.c:2598:

    lockdep_invariant_state(true);
→   pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_STARTED]++;
    trace_workqueue_execute_start(work);
    worker->current_func(work);

Moving pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_STARTED]++; before the line

    raw_spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);

resolves the data race without performance penalty.

KCSAN detected at least one additional data race:

in code:

        trace_workqueue_execute_end(work, worker->current_func);
→       pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_COMPLETED]++;
        lock_map_release(&lockdep_map);
        lock_map_release(&pwq->wq->lockdep_map);

which needs to be resolved separately.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
