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