4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mateusz Guzik <mguzik@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a3b609ef9f8b1dbfe97034ccad6cd3fe71fbe7ab upstream. Only functions doing more than one read are modified. Consumeres happened to deal with possibly changing data, but it does not seem like a good thing to rely on.
