[PATCH 1/3] tools/virtio: fix READ_ONCE()

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
Date: 2016-11-24 10:26:57
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, virtio core · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

The virtio tools implementation of READ_ONCE() has a single parameter called
'var', but erroneously refers to 'val' for its cast, and thus won't work unless
there's a variable of the correct type that happens to be called 'var'.

Fix this with s/var/val/, making READ_ONCE() work as expected regardless.
