Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use READ_ONCE() to read variables that are volatile
Date: Tue,  5 Apr 2016 16:57:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459900667-20367-3-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1459900667-20367-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com>

Use the READ_ONCE macro to access variabes that can change asynchronously.
This is the recommended mechanism for dealing with "unsafe" compiler
optimizations.
