From a07d29c6724a19eab120b7a74a9bfd107d20f69a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 01:36:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ptr_ring: prevent queue load/store tearing In theory compiler could tear queue loads or stores in two. It does not seem to be happening in practice but it seems easier to convert the cases where this would be a problem to READ/WRITE_ONCE than worry about it. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
