The bloom_filter_ptr_ was published using memory_order_relaxed, which does not establish a proper happens-before relationship between the pointer store and the DynamicBloom object initialization. This can lead to readers observing a partially constructed DynamicBloom on weak memory models (e.g., ARM), causing crashes when accessing uninitialized data. The issue was verified using Relacy formal verification tool, which confirmed the data race exists when using relaxed memory ordering. Fix: - Change load from memory_order_relaxed to memory_order_acquire - Change store from memory_order_relaxed to memory_order_release This establishes a proper release-acquire synchronization, ensuring that readers only observe a fully constructed DynamicBloom object after the pointer is published. Fixes: facebook#305 (introduced in commit 405de0e)

Fix data race in MemTable::GetBloomFilter() on ARM weak memory model introduced in #305 (commit 405de0e)
Use release-acquire memory ordering instead of relaxed to ensure
DynamicBloom object is fully initialized before pointer publication.
Problem:
to be published before DynamicBloom::data_ is initialized
causing crashes
Solution:
only see fully initialized objects
Performance impact:
~1-3 cycles on ARM (may add memory barrier)
filter operations (hash computation + memory access)
The issue was verified using Relacy formal verification tool, which confirmed the data race exists when using relaxed memory ordering.
