mISDN: annotate data-race around dev->work
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mISDN: annotate data-race around dev->work dev->work can re read locklessly in mISDN_read() and mISDN_poll(). Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations. BUG: KCSAN: data-race in mISDN_ioctl / mISDN_read write to 0xffff88812d848280 of 4 bytes by task 10864 on cpu 1: misdn_add_timer drivers/isdn/mISDN/timerdev.c:175 [inline] mISDN_ioctl+0x2fb/0x550 drivers/isdn/mISDN/timerdev.c:233 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:597 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xce/0x140 fs/ioctl.c:583 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x43/0x50 fs/ioctl.c:583 x64_sys_call+0x14b0/0x3000 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:17 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xd8/0x2c0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f read to 0xffff88812d848280 of 4 bytes by task 10857 on cpu 0: mISDN_read+0x1f2/0x470 drivers/isdn/mISDN/timerdev.c:112 do_loop_readv_writev fs/read_write.c:847 [inline] vfs_readv+0x3fb/0x690 fs/read_write.c:1020 do_readv+0xe7/0x210 fs/read_write.c:1080 __do_sys_readv fs/read_write.c:1165 [inline] __se_sys_readv fs/read_write.c:1162 [inline] __x64_sys_readv+0x45/0x50 fs/read_write.c:1162 x64_sys_call+0x2831/0x3000 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:20 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xd8/0x2c0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f value changed: 0x00000000 -> 0x00000001
