s390/kvm: REPLACE barrier fixup with READ_ONCE

borntraeger · borntraeger · commit 5de72a2247ac · 2014-12-18T09:54:41.000+01:00
ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145) Commit 1365039 ("KVM: s390: Fix ipte locking") replace ACCESS_ONCE with barriers. Lets use READ_ONCE instead. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
