ipc/mqueue.c: update/document memory barriers
Update and document memory barriers for mqueue.c: - ewp->state is read without any locks, thus READ_ONCE is required. - add smp_aquire__after_ctrl_dep() after the READ_ONCE, we need acquire semantics if the value is STATE_READY. - use wake_q_add_safe() - document why __set_current_state() may be used: Reading task->state cannot happen before the wake_q_add() call, which happens while holding info->lock. Thus the spin_unlock() is the RELEASE, and the spin_lock() is the ACQUIRE. For completeness: there is also a 3 CPU scenario, if the to be woken up task is already on another wake_q. Then: - CPU1: spin_unlock() of the task that goes to sleep is the RELEASE - CPU2: the spin_lock() of the waker is the ACQUIRE - CPU2: smp_mb__before_atomic inside wake_q_add() is the RELEASE - CPU3: smp_mb__after_spinlock() inside try_to_wake_up() is the ACQUIRE Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <[email protected]> Cc: Waiman Long <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Will Deacon <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
