Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] A rare failure to wake up sync tasks
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 16:32:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1720643005.git.bcodding@redhat.com> (raw)

Hey all - RFC patch here because this race is very hard to reproduce so I
will be testing this for a few days before feeling certain that this fix
does the job.

Meantime, I'd love some feedback from any one that has mastered load/store
races.  Do I really need a full smp_mb() here?  I think I do because the
race is not to the tk_runstate's ACTIVE bit which is set under the queue
lock, but rather to the wait_queue_head..  I'd love to be corrected.

Comments much appreciated.. this problem has been very elusive to catch.
