From 2a742cedcf13572999436676cbe36c3a9b733b0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 15:40:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Fix the waitqueue_active() check in xol_free_insn_slot() The xol_free_insn_slot()->waitqueue_active() check is buggy. We need mb() after we set the conditon for wait_event(), or xol_take_insn_slot() can miss the wakeup.
