Subject: [PATCH 1/1] rcu/kvfree: Use READ_ONCE() when access to krcp->head
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 14:18:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221202131837.375341-1-urezki@gmail.com> (raw)
A need_offload_krc() function is now lock-free. A compiler
can optimize readers in way that they see an old value even
though writers already updated the krcp->head from another
path.
