In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix data races in unix_release_sock/unix_stream_sendmsg
A data-race condition has been identified in af_unix. In one data path,
the write function unix_release_sock() atomically writes to
sk->sk_shutdown using WRITE_ONCE. However, on the reader side,
unix_stream_sendmsg() does not read it atomically. Consequently, this
issue is causing the following KCSAN splat to occur:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in unix_release_sock / unix_stream_sendmsg
write (marked) to 0xffff88867256ddbb of 1 bytes by task 7270 on cpu 28:

do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:?)
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)
value changed: 0x01 -> 0x03
The line numbers are related to commit dd5a440a31fa ("Linux 6.9-rc7").
Commit e1d09c2c2f57 ("af_unix: Fix data races around sk->sk_shutdown.")
addressed a comparable issue in the past regarding sk->sk_shutdown.
However, it overlooked resolving this particular data path.
This patch only offending unix_stream_sendmsg() function, since the
other reads seem to be protected by unix_state_lock() as discussed in
