locking/rwsem-xadd: Fix missed wakeup due to reordering of load
commit 9c29c31830a4eca724e137a9339137204bbb31be upstream. If a spinner is present, there is a chance that the load of rwsem_has_spinner() in rwsem_wake() can be reordered with respect to decrement of rwsem count in __up_write() leading to wakeup being missed: spinning writer up_write caller --------------- ----------------------- [S] osq_unlock() [L] osq spin_lock(wait_lock) sem->count=0xFFFFFFFF00000001 +0xFFFFFFFF00000000 count=sem->count MB sem->count=0xFFFFFFFE00000001 -0xFFFFFFFF00000001 spin_trylock(wait_lock) return rwsem_try_write_lock(count) spin_unlock(wait_lock) schedule() Reordering of atomic_long_sub_return_release() in __up_write() and rwsem_has_spinner() in rwsem_wake() can cause missing of wakeup in up_write() context. In spinning writer, sem->count and local variable count is 0XFFFFFFFE00000001. It would result in rwsem_try_write_lock() failing to acquire rwsem and spinning writer going to sleep in rwsem_down_write_failed(). The smp_rmb() will make sure that the spinner state is consulted after sem->count is updated in up_write context.
