Subject: [PATCH v4.4.y] percpu: make this_cpu_generic_read() atomic w.r.t. interrupts
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 14:32:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171018133237.55218-1-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
Commit e88d62cd4b2f0b1ae55e9008e79c2794b1fc914d upstream.
As raw_cpu_generic_read() is a plain read from a raw_cpu_ptr() address,
it's possible (albeit unlikely) that the compiler will split the access
across multiple instructions.
In this_cpu_generic_read() we disable preemption but not interrupts
before calling raw_cpu_generic_read(). Thus, an interrupt could be taken
in the middle of the split load instructions. If a this_cpu_write() or
RMW this_cpu_*() op is made to the same variable in the interrupt
handling path, this_cpu_read() will return a torn value.
For native word types, we can avoid tearing using READ_ONCE(), but this
won't work in all cases (e.g. 64-bit types on most 32-bit platforms).
This patch reworks this_cpu_generic_read() to use READ_ONCE() where
possible, otherwise falling back to disabling interrupts.
