Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3 03/32] sched_ext: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE in cmask word ops and drop _RACY variants
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 22:01:30 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703080159.2314350-4-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703080159.2314350-1-tj@kernel.org>
The cmask ops can operate on BPF-arena cmasks which BPF programs may read
and write concurrently. The _RACY op variants existed to make such lockless
reads explicit but this turned out to be too restrictive. Mark the word
accesses in all the two-cmask ops with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE instead and drop
the _RACY variants.
