Hmm, that's exactly what it should be in net/ipv4/inet_fragment.c.
We don't need the READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE (or volatile marking) at
all. Even if the compiler dices and slices the reads/writes of
"a" into a thousand pieces, it should still work if the RCU
primitives are worth their salt.
But I do concede that in the general RCU case you must have the
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE calls for rcu_dereference/rcu_assign_pointer.
Cheers,
