[PATCH v6 1/5] ceph: use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for oldest_tid

[Xiubo Li via B4 Relay <devnull+xiubo.li.clyso.com@kernel.org>]

From: Xiubo Li <xiubo.li@clyso.com>

The oldest_client_tid sent in the MDS request header is advisory:
a stale value is harmless --- at worst the MDS may resend a reply
the client already has, or trim its completed-requests table
slightly earlier or later than optimal, both of which the protocol
handles correctly.  The field is monotonic and does not need lock
serialization to stay correct.

Switch all accesses to READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to prevent
the compiler from tearing or inventing loads, documenting that
these lockless accesses are intentional.  This removes the last
reason the MDS request-send path had to be serialized under
mdsc->mutex.
