The knob for cgroup v1 memory controller: memory.swappiness is not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used. This is not an actual problem because races are unlikely. But it is better to use [READ|WRITE]_ONCE to prevent compiler from doing anything funky. The access of memcg->swappiness and vm_swappiness is lockless, so both of them can be concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read them. All occurrences of memcg->swappiness and vm_swappiness are updated with [READ|WRITE]_ONCE.

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.
