[PATCHv2 02/10] kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE

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

 



ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For
example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such
accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145)

Let's provide READ_ONCE/ASSIGN_ONCE that will do all accesses via
scalar types.
