Subject: cmpxchg broken in some situation
Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:34:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46FF7BC2.5050905@ict.ac.cn> (raw)

hi,   
   Today I run across a possible bug of cmpxchg implementation. When 
playing with DRM on our Fulong, the following function 
(drivers/char/drm/drm_lock.c) is not working correctly in 64BIT mips:
   cmpxchg failed to set *lock to new value. (return 0 with *lock unchanged)
It is probably due to type conversions between unisigned int and 
unsigned long.  When I change cmpxchg to mycmpxchg(attached below), 
problem disappeared.                                 

int drm_lock_free(struct drm_lock_data *lock_data, unsigned int context)
{
        unsigned int old, new, prev;
        volatile unsigned int *lock = &lock_data->hw_lock->lock;

        spin_lock(&lock_data->spinlock);
        if (lock_data->kernel_waiters != 0) {
                drm_lock_transfer(lock_data, 0);
                lock_data->idle_has_lock = 1;
                spin_unlock(&lock_data->spinlock);
                return 1;
        }
        spin_unlock(&lock_data->spinlock);

        do {
                old = *lock;
                new = _DRM_LOCKING_CONTEXT(old);
                prev = cmpxchg(lock, old, new);
        } while (prev != old);

        if (_DRM_LOCK_IS_HELD(old) && _DRM_LOCKING_CONTEXT(old) != 
context) {
                DRM_ERROR("%d freed heavyweight lock held by %d\n",
                          context, _DRM_LOCKING_CONTEXT(old));
                return 1;
        }
        wake_up_interruptible(&lock_data->lock_queue);
        return 0;
}

static inline unsigned int mycmpxchg(volatile int * m, unsigned int old,
        unsigned int new)  //unsigned long to unsigned int
{
        __u32 retval;
