[PATCH 3/8] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use READ_ONCE() to read variables that are volatile

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

 



Use the READ_ONCE macro to access variabes that can change asynchronously.
This is the recommended mechanism for dealing with "unsafe" compiler
optimizations.
