Subject: [PATCH] tun: remove possible false sharing in tun_flow_update()
Git-commit: 4ffdd22e49f47db543906d75453a0048a53071ab
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc4
References: git-fixes

As mentioned in https://github.com/google/ktsan/wiki/READ_ONCE-and-WRITE_ONCE#it-may-improve-performance
a C compiler can legally transform

if (e->queue_index != queue_index)
	e->queue_index = queue_index;

to :

	e->queue_index = queue_index;

Note that the code using jiffies has no issue, since jiffies
has volatile attribute.

if (e->updated != jiffies)
    e->updated = jiffies;
