[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 322/459] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Use WRITE_ONCE() when changing validity of an STE

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-02-14 16:09:03
Also in: linux-iommu, lkml, stable
Subsystem: iommu subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Joerg Roedel, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit d71e01716b3606a6648df7e5646ae12c75babde4 ]

If, for some bizarre reason, the compiler decided to split up the write
of STE DWORD 0, we could end up making a partial structure valid.

Although this probably won't happen, follow the example of the
context-descriptor code and use WRITE_ONCE() to ensure atomicity of the
write.
