Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] rxrpc: Don't need barrier for ->tx_bottom and ->acks_hard_ack
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 07:45:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414114559.523551-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026041326-engaged-snowbird-df74@gregkh>
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 6396b48ac0a77165f9c2c40ab03d6c8188c89739 ]
We don't need a barrier for the ->tx_bottom value (which indicates the
lowest sequence still in the transmission queue) and the ->acks_hard_ack
value (which tracks the DATA packets hard-ack'd by the latest ACK packet
received and thus indicates which DATA packets can now be discarded) as the
app thread doesn't use either value as a reference to memory to access.
Rather, the app thread merely uses these as a guide to how much space is
available in the transmission queue
Change the code to use READ/WRITE_ONCE() instead.
Also, change rxrpc_check_tx_space() to use the same value for tx_bottom
throughout.
