[PATCH net-next v2] net/sched: sch_dualpi2: annotate lockless stats reads in dump path

From: Vineet Agarwal

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 03:29:54 EST


dualpi2_dump_stats() runs without holding the qdisc lock and provides
best-effort statistics to userspace.

These fields are updated concurrently from enqueue and dequeue paths
and may be observed locklessly in the dump path.

Use READ_ONCE() to ensure safe single-copy loads of these counters and
prevent compiler optimizations that could otherwise result in torn or
inconsistent observations on weakly ordered architectures.

No WRITE_ONCE() annotations are added because these statistics are
maintained as best-effort counters, and the update paths already use
simple non-synchronized increments consistent with existing qdisc
statistics patterns. The intent of this change is only to make the
lockless read semantics explicit.
