From d7d16a89350ab263484c0aa2b523dd3a234e4a80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2019 22:44:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: add skb_queue_empty_lockless() Some paths call skb_queue_empty() without holding the queue lock. We must use a barrier in order to not let the compiler do strange things, and avoid KCSAN splats. Adding a barrier in skb_queue_empty() might be overkill, I prefer adding a new helper to clearly identify points where the callers might be lockless. This might help us finding real bugs. The corresponding WRITE_ONCE() should add zero cost for current compilers. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
