sched/wake_q: Fix wakeup ordering for wake_q
Notable cmpxchg() does not provide ordering when it fails, however wake_q_add() requires ordering in this specific case too. Without this it would be possible for the concurrent wakeup to not observe our prior state. Andrea Parri provided: C wake_up_q-wake_q_add { int next = 0; int y = 0; } P0(int *next, int *y) { int r0; /* in wake_up_q() */ WRITE_ONCE(*next, 1); /* node->next = NULL */ smp_mb(); /* implied by wake_up_process() */ r0 = READ_ONCE(*y); } P1(int *next, int *y) { int r1; /* in wake_q_add() */ WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1); /* wake_cond = true */ smp_mb__before_atomic(); r1 = cmpxchg_relaxed(next, 1, 2); } exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=0) This "exists" clause cannot be satisfied according to the LKMM: Test wake_up_q-wake_q_add Allowed States 3 0:r0=0; 1:r1=1; 0:r0=1; 1:r1=0; 0:r0=1; 1:r1=1; No Witnesses Positive: 0 Negative: 3 Condition exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=0) Observation wake_up_q-wake_q_add Never 0 3 Reported-by: Yongji Xie <elohimes@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
