From 9b4fb5cec031f81ef436bf2cfd9fc265e25f6e45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 17:40:21 +0000 Subject: fault_inject: Don't rely on "return value" from WRITE_ONCE() It's a bit weird that WRITE_ONCE() evaluates to the value it stores and it's different to smp_store_release(), which can't be used this way. In preparation for preventing this in WRITE_ONCE(), change the fault injection code to use a local variable instead.
