Subject: [PATCH net] net: devmem: use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE on binding->dev
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 18:03:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223-devmem-membar-fix-v1-1-37dcae1e49f8@meta.com> (raw)
From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>
binding->dev is protected on the write-side in
mp_dmabuf_devmem_uninstall() against concurrent writes, but due to the
concurrent bare read in net_devmem_get_binding() it should be wrapped in
a READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE pair to make sure no compiler optimizations play
with the underlying register in unforeseen ways.
Fixes: bd61848900bf ("net: devmem: Implement TX path")
Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Note1: This didn't crop up in a discrete error, but just something that
didn't seem to quite follow my understanding of memory-barriers.txt, as
frail and feeble as that understanding may be.
Note2: the "Fixes" commit I referenced is the first one to introduce
binding->dev bare accesses, but the later patch '6a2108c78069 ("net:
devmem: refresh devmem TX dst in case of route invalidation")' carried
that forward. I wasn't sure which was the ideal one to select for the
"Fixes" label.
