Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rcu: Use WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->next for rculist_nulls
Date: Thu,  6 Jul 2023 10:28:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230706102849.437687-2-mmpgouride@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230706102849.437687-1-mmpgouride@gmail.com>

When the objects managed by rculist_nulls are allocated with
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, readers may still hold references to this
object that is being added, which means the modification of ->next
is visible to readers. So, this patch uses WRITE_ONCE() for assignments
to ->next.
