The macros FAN_FROM_REG and TEMP_FROM_REG evaluate their arguments
multiple times. When used in lockless contexts involving shared driver
data, this causes Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race
conditions.
Convert the macros to static functions. This guarantees that arguments
are evaluated only once (pass-by-value), preventing the race
conditions.
Adhere to the principle of minimal changes by only converting macros
that evaluate arguments multiple times and are used in lockless
contexts.

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 reStructuredText 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.
