(Actually, as of OpenACC 3.2 there now is:
<https://gcc.gnu.org/PR97390> "[OpenACC] 'async' clause on 'data' construct"
-- but that's not yet implemented, so doesn't help us here.)

(Or rather, use structured 'data' (as we're now doing), but with
appropriate 'async' clauses.)

ACK, thanks. Pushed to master branch in

Subject: [PATCH] Wait at end of OpenACC asynchronous kernels regions
In OpenACC 'kernels' decomposition, we're improperly nesting synchronous and
asynchronous data and compute regions, giving rise to data races when the
asynchronicity is actually executed, as is visible in at least on test case
with GCN offloading.
The proper fix is to correctly use the asynchronous interfaces, making the
currently synchronous data regions fully asynchronous (see also
<https://gcc.gnu.org/PR97390> "[OpenACC] 'async' clause on 'data' construct",
which is to share the same implementation), but that's for later; for now add
some more synchronization.
gcc/
* omp-oacc-kernels-decompose.cc (add_wait): New function, split out
of...
(add_async_clauses_and_wait): ...here. Call new outlined function.
(decompose_kernels_region_body): Add wait at the end of
explicitly-asynchronous kernels regions.
libgomp/
* testsuite/libgomp.oacc-c-c++-common/f-asyncwait-1.c: Remove GCN
offloading execution XFAIL.
