Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/14] rcu: Avoid misordering in __call_rcu_nocb_enqueue()
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 11:38:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1409251097-26734-12-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1409251097-26734-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The NOCB leader wakeup ordering depends on the store to the header
happening before the check for the leader already being awake.  However,
because atomic_long_add() does not return a value, it does not provide
ordering guarantees, the incorrect comment in wake_nocb_leader()
notwithstanding.  This commit therefore adds a smp_mb__after_atomic()
after the final atomic_long_add() to provide the needed ordering
guarantee.
