From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: marc.zyngier@arm.com (Marc Zyngier) Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2017 16:28:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Use READ_ONCE fo cmpxchg In-Reply-To: <20170803152857.32055-1-marc.zyngier@arm.com> References: <20170803152857.32055-1-marc.zyngier@arm.com> Message-ID: <20170803152857.32055-5-marc.zyngier@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: Christoffer Dall There is a small chance that the compiler could generate separate loads for the dist->propbaser which could be modified from another CPU. As we want to make sure we atomically update the entire value, and don't race with other updates, guarantee that the cmpxchg operation compares against the original value.
