From d6837064ef1e8d3edca4d4848e12e4e905f4039a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Roger=20Pau=20Monn=C3=A9?= Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 16:34:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen-blkback: only read request operation from shared ring once MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
