An atomicity violation occurs when the validity of the variables
da7219->clk_src and da7219->mclk_rate is being assessed. Since the entire
assessment is not protected by a lock, the da7219 variable might still be
in flux during the assessment, rendering this check invalid.
To fix this issue, we recommend adding a lock before the block
if ((da7219->clk_src == clk_id) && (da7219->mclk_rate == freq)) so that
the legitimacy check for da7219->clk_src and da7219->mclk_rate is
protected by the lock, ensuring the validity of the check.
This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool
developed by our team. This tool analyzes the locking APIs
to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then
analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible
concurrency bugs including data races and atomicity violations.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
