From 4f89b336fd1edf0c88875d0b7fcdc288c7de903d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 14:43:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Apply ACCESS_ONCE() to rcu_boost() return value Both TINY_RCU's and TREE_RCU's implementations of rcu_boost() access the ->boost_tasks and ->exp_tasks fields without preventing concurrent changes to these fields. This commit therefore applies ACCESS_ONCE in order to prevent compiler mischief. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
