[PATCH 3.4 095/125] xen-blkback: only read request operation from shared ring once

From: Roger Pau Monné <redacted>

3.4.113-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 1f13d75ccb806260079e0679d55d9253e370ec8a upstream.

A compiler may load a switch statement value multiple times, which could
be bad when the value is in memory shared with the frontend.

When converting a non-native request to a native one, ensure that
src->operation is only loaded once by using READ_ONCE().

This is part of XSA155.

[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
 - adjust context
 - call ACCESS_ONCE instead of READ_ONCE]
