Subject: [net-next rfc V3 1/9] macvtap: fix a possible race between queue selection and changing queues
Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 14:36:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370414192-5830-2-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1370414192-5830-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>
Complier may generate codes that re-read the vlan->numvtaps during
macvtap_get_queue(). This may lead a race if vlan->numvtaps were changed in the
same time and which can lead unexpected result (e.g. very huge value).
We need prevent the compiler from generating such codes by adding an
ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure vlan->numvtaps were only read once.
