If it is after a (successful) atomic_inc_not_zero(), the object is guaranteed to be alive (not freed or about to be freed). About readind/writing a specific field, all traditional locking rules apply. For TCP socket, we would generally grab the socket lock before reading/writing various fields. ct->status seems to be manipulated with set_bit() and clear_bit() which are SMP safe. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
