[PATCH 4/3] x86/intel_rdt: Apply READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to task_struct .rmid & .closid

From: Valentin Schneider
Date: Thu Dec 17 2020 - 07:24:08 EST


A CPU's current task can have its {closid, rmid} fields read locally while
they are being concurrently written to from another CPU. This can happen
anytime __resctrl_sched_in() races with either __rdtgroup_move_task() or
rdt_move_group_tasks().

Prevent load / store tearing for those accesses by giving them the
READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE() treatment.
