From 14cf3d977b80f5e355f8ac7547cf1b9ff9fb3e09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:29:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE 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) Change the gup code to replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE.
