[PATCH 2/2] io_uring: Use WRITE_ONCE() when writing to sq_flags

From: Nadav Amit <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-08 00:14:41
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Nadav Amit <redacted>

The compiler should be forbidden from any strange optimization for async
writes to user visible data-structures. Without proper protection, the
compiler can cause write-tearing or invent writes that would confuse the
userspace.

However, there are writes to sq_flags which are not protected by
WRITE_ONCE(). Use WRITE_ONCE() for these writes.

This is purely a theoretical issue. Presumably, any compiler is very
unlikely to do such optimizations.
