From 1658d35ead5d8dd76f2b2d6ad0e32c08d123faa2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2015 17:03:16 -0700 Subject: list: Use READ_ONCE() when testing for empty lists Most of the list-empty-check macros (list_empty(), hlist_empty(), hlist_bl_empty(), hlist_nulls_empty(), and hlist_nulls_empty()) use an unadorned load to check the list header. Given that these macros are sometimes invoked without the protection of a lock, this is not sufficient. This commit therefore adds READ_ONCE() calls to them. This commit does not touch llist_empty() because it already has the needed ACCESS_ONCE(). Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov Signed-off-by: Paul E.
