[PATCH 04/19] fs: dcache: Kill off ACCESS_ONCE()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.

However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.

It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the dcache code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.
