[PATCH bpf-next 0/4] xsk: various CPU barrier and {READ, WRITE}_ONCE fixes

From: Björn Töpel <hidden>
Date: 2019-08-22 09:13:44
Also in: bpf

This is a four patch series of various barrier, {READ, WRITE}_ONCE
cleanups in the AF_XDP socket code. More details can be found in the
corresponding commit message.

For an AF_XDP socket, most control plane operations are done under the
control mutex (struct xdp_sock, mutex), but there are some places
where members of the struct is read outside the control mutex. This,
as pointed out by Daniel in [1], requires proper {READ,
WRITE}_ONCE-correctness [2] [3]. To address this, and to simplify the
code, the state variable (introduced by Ilya), is now used a point of
synchronization ("is the socket in a valid state, or not").


Thanks,
Björn
