checkpatch: whine about ACCESS_ONCE
Add a test for use of ACCESS_ONCE that could be written using READ_ONCE or WRITE_ONCE. --fix it too if desired. The WRITE_ONCE fixes are less correct than the coccinelle script below as checkpatch cannot have a completely correct "expression" mechanism because checkpatch works on patches and not complete files. $ cat access_once.cocci @@ expression e1; expression e2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(e1) = e2 + WRITE_ONCE(e1, e2) @@ expression e1; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(e1) + READ_ONCE(e1) Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
