Hi Davidlohr,

As far as I understand the root problem is that (1) we publish a
not-fully initialized objects and (2) finish it's initialization in a
racy manner when other threads already have access to it. As the
result other threads can act on a wrong object. I am not sure that
zeroing the object really solves these problems. It will sure get rid
of the report at hand (but probably not of KTSAN, data race detector,
report), other threads still can see wrong 0 id and the id is still
initialized in racy way. I would expect that a proper fix would be to
publish a fully initialized object with proper, final id. Am I missing
something?
