[PATCH 5.4 262/434] net: avoid potential false sharing in neighbor related code

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Dec 29 2019 - 13:04:45 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 25c7a6d1f90e208ec27ca854b1381ed39842ec57 ]

There are common instances of the following construct :

if (n->confirmed != now)
n->confirmed = now;

A C compiler could legally remove the conditional.

Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to avoid this problem.
