[PATCH v3 09/12] RISC-V: User WRITE_ONCE instead of direct access

From: Atish Patra
Date: Thu Sep 06 2018 - 04:06:09 EST


The secondary harts spin on couple of per cpu variables until both of
these are non-zero so it's not necessary to have any ordering here.
However, WRITE_ONCE should be used to avoid tearing.
