dm: use ACCESS_ONCE for sysfs values
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Use the ACCESS_ONCE macro in dm-bufio and dm-verity where a variable
can be modified asynchronously (through sysfs) and we want to prevent
compiler optimizations that assume that the variable hasn't changed.
(See Documentation/atomic_ops.txt.)
