Currently vq->broken field is read by virtqueue_is_broken() in busy loop in one context by virtnet_send_command(). vq->broken is set to true in other process context by virtio_break_device(). Reader and writer are accessing it without any synchronization. This may lead to a compiler optimization which may result to optimize reading vq->broken only once. Hence, force reading vq->broken on each invocation of virtqueue_is_broken() and also force writing it so that such update is visible to the readers. It is a theoretical fix that isn't yet encountered in the field.

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.
