Hmm, what if the frontend changes cmd between those two accesses?
You either need another local buffer or you have to copy cmd via
ACCESS_ONCE() and the rest of *req separately (seems not to be
that hard: its just cmd, req_id and u).

BTW: Maybe you should use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() instead of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as those seem to be preferred nowadays.
