Subject: Re: [PATCH] RDMA/siw: Reuse value read using READ_ONCE instead of
 re-reading it

In the original source code, READ_ONCE(xxx) is in if test. In your 
commit, you move READ_ONCE out of this if test.

So the time slot exists between fetching and using. In the original 
source code, it does not exist. And the fetching and using are not 
protected by locks. As is suggested by Leon.

This will introduce risks.

The binary is based on optimization level and architectures. It is very 
complicated.
