First of all, thanks for your comment.

The patch you tested have a problem although it's really subtle(ie,
it doesn't do store tearing when I disassemble ARM{32|64}) but it
could have a problem potentially for other architecutres or future ARM.
For right fix, I sent v5 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/18/263.
If you can prove it fixes your problem, please Tested-by to the thread.
It's really valuable to do testing for stable material.

Thanks!
