rfs: annotate lockless accesses to RFS sock flow table
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.

This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:

if (table->ents[index] != newval)
        table->ents[index] = newval;

We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.
