From 4ee0a603926cad973e4d384f48c5e279a0fd4118 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dongdong Deng Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:32:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock. Although use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables are being loaded without the services of a lock.
