Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 1/4] xsk: avoid store-tearing when assigning queues

From: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@...el.com>

Use WRITE_ONCE when doing the store of tx, rx, fq, and cq, to avoid
potential store-tearing. These members are read outside of the control
mutex in the mmap implementation.

Acked-by: Jonathan Lemon <jonathan.lemon@...il.com>
Fixes: 37b076933a8e ("xsk: add missing write- and data-dependency barrier")
