So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful. However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct operation. It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory step, this patch converts the workqueue code and comments to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently. ---- virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Acked-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Lai Jiangshan --- kernel/workqueue.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/workqueue.c b/kernel/workqueue.c index 64d0edf428f8..39831b2f3c5f 100644 --- a/kernel/workqueue.c +++ b/kernel/workqueue.c @@ -4647,7 +4647,7 @@ static void rebind_workers(struct worker_pool *pool) * concurrency management.
