From 7c68fa2bddda6d942bd387c9ba5b4300737fd991 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:51:03 -0800 Subject: net: annotate lockless accesses to sk->sk_pacing_shift sk->sk_pacing_shift can be read and written without lock synchronization. This patch adds annotations to document this fact and avoid future syzbot complains. This might also avoid unexpected false sharing in sk_pacing_shift_update(), as the compiler could remove the conditional check and always write over sk->sk_pacing_shift : if (sk->sk_pacing_shift != val) sk->sk_pacing_shift = val; Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
