From 3b3fdf10a8add87ef0050138d51bfee9ab4983df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2015 16:58:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] locking/pvqspinlock: Order pv_unhash() after cmpxchg() on unlock slowpath When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the corresponding node blocked on the lock. Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees, it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading to hash corruption and/or a BUG(). This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.
