This is a four patch series of various barrier, {READ, WRITE}_ONCE
cleanups in the AF_XDP socket code. More details can be found in the
corresponding commit message.
For an AF_XDP socket, most control plane operations are done under the
control mutex (struct xdp_sock, mutex), but there are some places
where members of the struct is read outside the control mutex. This,
as pointed out by Daniel in [1], requires proper {READ,
WRITE}_ONCE-correctness [2] [3]. To address this, and to simplify the
code, the state variable (introduced by Ilya), is now used a point of
synchronization ("is the socket in a valid state, or not").
Thanks,
Björn
