Andrea Parri c546951d9c sched/core: Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() in move_queued_task()/task_rq_lock()
move_queued_task() synchronizes with task_rq_lock() as follows:

	move_queued_task()		task_rq_lock()

	[S] ->on_rq = MIGRATING		[L] rq = task_rq()
	WMB (__set_task_cpu())		ACQUIRE (rq->lock);
	[S] ->cpu = new_cpu		[L] ->on_rq

where "[L] rq = task_rq()" is ordered before "ACQUIRE (rq->lock)" by an
address dependency and, in turn, "ACQUIRE (rq->lock)" is ordered before
"[L] ->on_rq" by the ACQUIRE itself.

Use READ_ONCE() to load ->cpu in task_rq() (c.f., task_cpu()) to honor
this address dependency.  Also, mark the accesses to ->cpu and ->on_rq
with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to comply with the LKMM.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
