Followup to commit dd2261ed45 ("hrtimer: Protect lockless access
to timer->base")
lock_hrtimer_base() fetches timer->base without lock exclusion.
Compiler is allowed to read timer->base twice (even if considered dumb)
which could end up trying to lock migration_base and return
&migration_base.
base = timer->base;
if (likely(base != &migration_base)) {
/* compiler reads timer->base again, and now (base == &migration_base)
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&base->cpu_base->lock, *flags);
if (likely(base == timer->base))
return base; /* == &migration_base ! */
Similarly the write sides must use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.

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.
