Looks like for bpf case, we have bpf_prog_active guarding,
so nested nmi won't trigger nested bpf_send_signal() call,
so we should be fine without READ_ONCE here.
Also,
struct irq_work {
unsigned long flags;
struct llist_node llnode;
void (*func)(struct irq_work *);
};
-bash-4.4$ egrep -r 'work->flags' irq_work.c
flags = work->flags & ~IRQ_WORK_PENDING;
oflags = cmpxchg(&work->flags, flags, nflags);
if (work->flags & IRQ_WORK_LAZY) {
flags = work->flags & ~IRQ_WORK_PENDING;
xchg(&work->flags, flags);
(void)cmpxchg(&work->flags, flags, flags & ~IRQ_WORK_BUSY);
while (work->flags & IRQ_WORK_BUSY)
-bash-4.4$
From the above, `flags` is unsigned long and no READ_ONCE
is used, people may already assume atomic read_once is available,
so not using it.
