Otherwise, wont it be possible if two tasks are inserting at the same time, to have this: (Using reg as when the value is read into a register from memory) CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- reg = entry->val (reg == zero) entry->val = elt; keys_match(key, reg) (false) reg = entry->val (reg = elt) if (unlikely(!reg)) Causes the if to fail. A READ_ONCE(), would make sure the entry->val used to test against key would also be the same value used to test if it is zero. -- Steve > + /* > + * The key is present.
