Question about the barrier() in hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu()

[Alan Huang <mmpgouride@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I noticed a commit c87a124a5d5e(“net: force a reload of first item in hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu”)
and a related discussion [1].

After reading the whole discussion, it seems like that ptr->field was cached by gcc even with the deprecated
ACCESS_ONCE(), so my question is:

	Is that a compiler bug? If so, has this bug been fixed today, ten years later? 
	
	What about READ_ONCE(ptr->field)?
