Subject: [PATCH 3/8] accel: use atomic accesses for exit_request
Date: Fri,  8 Aug 2025 20:59:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250808185905.62776-4-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250808185905.62776-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

CPU threads write exit_request as a "note to self" that they need to
go out to a slow path.  This write happens out of the BQL and can be
a data race with another threads' cpu_exit(); use atomic accesses
consistently.
