[PATCH 4.14 07/21] rfs: annotate lockless accesses to RFS sock flow table

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

 



From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5c3b74a92aa285a3df722bf6329ba7ccf70346d6 ]

Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.

This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:

if (table->ents[index] != newval)
        table->ents[index] = newval;

We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.

Fixes: fec5e652e58f ("rfs: Receive Flow Steering")
