From 2f993cf093643b98477c421fa2b9a98dcc940323 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sat, 30 May 2015 22:04:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again While looking for other users of get_state/cond_sync. I Found ring_buffer_attach() and it looks obviously buggy? Don't we need to ensure that we have "synchronize" _between_ list_del() and list_add() ? IOW. Suppose that ring_buffer_attach() preempts right_after get_state_synchronize_rcu() and gp completes before spin_lock(). In this case cond_synchronize_rcu() does nothing and we reuse ->rb_entry without waiting for gp in between? It also moves the ->rcu_pending check under "if (rb)", to make it more readable imo.
