The disabled/enforcing/initialized flags are all accessed concurrently by threads so use the appropriate accessors that ensure atomicity and document that it is expected. Use smp_load/acquire...() helpers (with memory barriers) for the initialized flag, since it gates access to the rest of the state structures. Note that the disabled flag is currently not used for anything other than avoiding double disable, but it will be used for bailing out of hooks once security_delete_hooks() is removed.

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.
