    fs/aio: Use RCU accessors for kioctx_table->table[] · d0264c01
    Tejun Heo authored
    While converting ioctx index from a list to a table, db446a08
    
    
    ("aio: convert the ioctx list to table lookup v3") missed tagging
    kioctx_table->table[] as an array of RCU pointers and using the
    appropriate RCU accessors.  This introduces a small window in the
    lookup path where init and access may race.
    
    Mark kioctx_table->table[] with __rcu and use the approriate RCU
    accessors when using the field.
