[PATCHv2 10/10] KVM: s390: change ipte lock from barrier to READ_ONCE

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

 



Now that we have the READ_ONCE solution, we can change the ipte lock
from a barrier solution to READ_ONCE. The barrier and the explanation
of the bug was introduced in commit 1365039d0cb3 ("KVM: s390: Fix
ipte locking")
