Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Drivers: hv: vmbus: avoid unneeded compiler optimizations in vmbus_wait_for_unload()
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 16:42:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455291770-15672-5-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1455291770-15672-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com>

Message header is modified by the hypervisor and we read it in a loop,
we need to prevent compilers from optimizing accesses. There are no such
optimizations at this moment, this is just a future proof.
