In function bio_put_percpu_cache(), cache->nr_irq is read indirectly
in line 776 using READ_ONCE(). This ensures safe access in a
multi-threaded environment.
776 if (READ_ONCE(cache->nr_irq) + cache->nr > ALLOC_CACHE_MAX)
777 goto out_free;
However, the increment operation is performed directly in line 792 without
using WRITE_ONCE(), which can lead to potential inconsistencies in a
multi-threaded context.
792 cache->nr_irq++;
To ensure consistent protection against data races, this update
should utilize WRITE_ONCE.
