From: Will Deacon Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 22:48:28 +0000 (-0700) Subject: include/linux/page_ref.h: ensure page_ref_unfreeze is ordered against prior accesses X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~5190^2~89 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=108a7ac448caff8e35e8c3f92f65faad893e5aca;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git include/linux/page_ref.h: ensure page_ref_unfreeze is ordered against prior accesses page_ref_freeze and page_ref_unfreeze are designed to be used as a pair, wrapping a critical section where struct pages can be modified without having to worry about consistency for a concurrent fast-GUP. Whilst page_ref_freeze has full barrier semantics due to its use of atomic_cmpxchg, page_ref_unfreeze is implemented using atomic_set, which doesn't provide any barrier semantics and allows the operation to be reordered with respect to page modifications in the critical section. This patch ensures that page_ref_unfreeze is ordered after any critical section updates, by invoking smp_mb() prior to the atomic_set.
