-Subject: [PATCH 1/3] xen: Add RING_COPY_REQUEST()
-
-Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly
-(i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the
-shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request
-generally requires taking a local copy.
-
-Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of
-RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of
-ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible
-compiler optimizations.
-
-Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or
-omitting the copy.
-
-This is part of XSA155.
