But can it be changed? You write to it without lock, but read under the
one (different for each channel though), so it attracted attention.
can you point where in the code your concern is?
talitos_submit() writes to hdr (initially I think?) without locks.
It is read in flush_channel() under tail lock, but then it is dropped,
so I rised a question, if it can be modified during that time, since if
it can, status value, calculated from it, can be different and thus
error check result can be false. Or this is not an issue?
