Subject: [PATCH 4/7] xen-blkback: only read request operation from shared ring
once
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
A compiler may load a switch statement value multiple times, which could
be bad when the value is in memory shared with the frontend.
When converting a non-native request to a native one, ensure that
src->operation is only loaded once by using READ_ONCE().
This is part of XSA155.
