See:
static inline int vhost_has_feature(struct vhost_dev *dev, int bit)
{
unsigned acked_features;
/* TODO: check that we are running from vhost_worker or dev mutex is
* held? */
acked_features = rcu_dereference_index_check(dev->acked_features, 1);
return acked_features & (1 << bit);
}
We are accessing it outside the vhost_worker thread.
