[PATCH net-next 08/12] ptr_ring: prevent queue load/store tearing
From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Thu Jan 25 2018 - 18:38:07 EST
In theory compiler could tear queue loads or stores in two. It does not
seem to be happening in practice but it seems easier to convert the
cases where this would be a problem to READ/WRITE_ONCE than worry about
it.
