From dd2261ed45aaeddeb77768f291d604179bcab096 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Grall Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 10:24:07 +0100 Subject: hrtimer: Protect lockless access to timer->base The update to timer->base is protected by the base->cpu_base->lock(). However, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() does access it lockless. So the compiler is allowed to refetch timer->base which can cause havoc when the timer base is changed concurrently. Use READ_ONCE() to prevent this.
