Subject: [RT PATCH 1/3] hrtimer: Use READ_ONCE to access timer->base in hrimer_grab_expiry_lock()
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 10:24:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190821092409.13225-2-julien.grall@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190821092409.13225-1-julien.grall@arm.com>
The update to timer->base is protected by the base->cpu_base->lock().
However, hrtimer_grab_expirty_lock() does not access it with the lock.
So it would theorically be possible to have timer->base changed under
our feet. We need to prevent the compiler to refetch timer->base so the
check and the access is performed on the same base.
Other access of timer->base are either done with a lock or protected
with READ_ONCE(). So use READ_ONCE() in hrtimer_grab_expirty_lock().

This is rather theoritical so far as I don't have a reproducer for this.
