From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ff229eee3d897f52bd001c841f2d3cce8853ecdc ] Followup to commit dd2261ed45aa ("hrtimer: Protect lockless access to timer->base") lock_hrtimer_base() fetches timer->base without lock exclusion. Compiler is allowed to read timer->base twice (even if considered dumb) which could end up trying to lock migration_base and return &migration_base. base = timer->base; if (likely(base != &migration_base)) { /* compiler reads timer->base again, and now (base == &migration_base) raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&base->cpu_base->lock, *flags); if (likely(base == timer->base)) return base; /* == &migration_base ! */ Similarly the write sides must use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.
