Subject: [PATCH 13/19] rcutorture: formal: Prepare for ACCESS_ONCE() removal
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2017 14:07:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1508792849-3115-13-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171023210408.GA2930@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.
The bulk of the kernel code can be transformed via Coccinelle to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), though this only modifies users of ACCESS_ONCE(),
and not the implementation itself. As such, it has the potential to
break homebrew ACCESS_ONCE() macros seen in some user code in the kernel
tree (e.g. the virtio code, as fixed in commit ea9156fb3b71d9f7).
To avoid fragility if/when that transformation occurs, this patch
reworks the definitions of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in the rcutorture formal
tests, and removes the unused ACCESS_ONCE() helper. There should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.
