Subject: [PATCH memory-model 2/3] Documentation/litmus-tests: Demonstrate unordered failing cmpxchg
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2024 12:26:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240404192649.531112-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <8550daf1-4bfd-4607-8325-bfb7c1e2d8c7@paulmck-laptop>
This commit adds four litmus tests showing that a failing cmpxchg()
operation is unordered unless followed by an smp_mb__after_atomic()
operation.
Suggested-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>

RM-broken.litmus
- Demonstrates problems with "roach motel" locking, where code is

- shows how to use the "filter" clause to discard executions that
- would be excluded by other code not modeled in the litmus test.
- Note also that this "roach motel" optimization is emulated by
- physically moving P1()'s two reads from x under the lock.
