[PATCH 4/8] Drivers: hv: vmbus: avoid unneeded compiler optimizations in vmbus_wait_for_unload()

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

 



From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

Message header is modified by the hypervisor and we read it in a loop,
we need to prevent compilers from optimizing accesses. There are no such
optimizations at this moment, this is just a future proof.
