net: add skb_queue_empty_lockless()
Some paths call skb_queue_empty() without holding the queue lock. We must use a barrier in order to not let the compiler do strange things, and avoid KCSAN splats. Adding a barrier in skb_queue_empty() might be overkill, I prefer adding a new helper to clearly identify points where the callers might be lockless. This might help us finding real bugs. The corresponding WRITE_ONCE() should add zero cost for current compilers. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
