From 1b6a51e86cce38cf4d48ce9c242120283ae2f603 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dongli Zhang Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2020 14:14:22 -0800 Subject: xenbus: req->body should be updated before req->state The req->body should be updated before req->state is updated and the order should be guaranteed by a barrier. Otherwise, read_reply() might return req->body = NULL. Below is sample callstack when the issue is reproduced on purpose by reordering the updates of req->body and req->state and adding delay in code between updates of req->state and req->body.
