Annotate the writer side of fdb->dst: - fdb_create() - br_fdb_update() - fdb_add_entry() - br_fdb_external_learn_add() with WRITE_ONCE() and the reader side: - br_fdb_test_addr() - br_fdb_update() - fdb_fill_info() - fdb_add_entry() - fdb_delete_by_addr_and_port() - br_fdb_external_learn_add() - br_switchdev_fdb_notify() with compiler barriers such that the readers do not attempt to reload fdb->dst multiple times, leading to potentially different destination ports when the fdb entry is updated concurrently. This is especially important in read-side sections where fdb->dst is used more than once, but let's convert all accesses for the sake of uniformity.

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.
