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!
