commitb34e7e298dupstream. WRITE_ONCE() isn't the correct way to publish a pointer to a data structure, since it doesn't include a write memory barrier. Therefore other tasks may see that the pointer has been set but not see that the pointed-to memory has finished being initialized yet. Instead a primitive with "release" semantics is needed. Use smp_store_release() for this. The use of READ_ONCE() on the read side is still potentially correct if there's no control dependency, i.e. if all memory being "published" is transitively reachable via the pointer itself. But this pairing is somewhat confusing and error-prone. So just upgrade the read side to smp_load_acquire() so that it clearly pairs with smp_store_release().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
