Subject: net: devmem: use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE on binding->dev
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc3~39^2~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40bf00ec2ee271df5ba67593991760adf8b5d0ed;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

net: devmem: use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE on binding->dev

binding->dev is protected on the write-side in
mp_dmabuf_devmem_uninstall() against concurrent writes, but due to the
concurrent bare reads in net_devmem_get_binding() and
validate_xmit_unreadable_skb() it should be wrapped in a
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE pair to make sure no compiler optimizations play
with the underlying register in unforeseen ways.

Doesn't present a critical bug because the known compiler optimizations
don't result in bad behavior. There is no tearing on u64, and load
omissions/invented loads would only break if additional binding->dev
references were inlined together (they aren't right now).

This just more strictly follows the linux memory model (i.e.,
"Lock-Protected Writes With Lockless Reads" in
tools/memory-model/Documentation/access-marking.txt).
