---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: =?UTF-8?q?Roger=20Pau=20Monn=C3=A9?= <[email protected]> commit 1f13d75ccb806260079e0679d55d9253e370ec8a upstream. A compiler may load a switch statement value multiple times, which could be bad when the value is in memory shared with the frontend. When converting a non-native request to a native one, ensure that src->operation is only loaded once by using READ_ONCE(). This is part of XSA155.
