[PATCH v7 07/12] nvdimm: virtio_pmem: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for wait flags
From: Li Chen
Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 05:29:13 EST
Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for the wait_event() flags (done and
wq_buf_avail). They are observed by waiters without pmem_lock, so make
the accesses explicit single loads/stores and avoid compiler
reordering/caching across the wait/wake paths.

Changes in v7:
- Add Pankaj's Acked-by.
v2->v3:
- Split out READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() updates from patch 3/7 (no functional
change intended).
v3->v4:
- Rebased onto v7.1-rc7 and renumbered after the flush error patches.
