Subject: [Update PATCH 2/2] aio, mem-hotplug: Add memory barrier to aio ring page migration.
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 21:44:23 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <530F3327.8020205@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <530F2A2D.50307@jp.fujitsu.com>

When doing aio ring page migration, we migrated the page, and update
ctx->ring_pages[]. Like the following:

aio_migratepage()
 |-> migrate_page_copy(new, old)
 |   ......				/* Need barrier here */
 |-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new

Actually, we need a memory barrier between these two operations.
Otherwise, if ctx->ring_pages[] is updated before memory copy due to
the compiler optimization, other processes may have an opportunity
to access to the not fully initialized new ring page.

So add a wmb and rmb to synchronize them.
