3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andrea Parri <parri.and...@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 472e8c55cf6622d1c112dc2bc777f68bbd4189db ] Successful RMW operations are supposed to be fully ordered, but Alpha's xchg() and cmpxchg() do not meet this requirement. Will Deacon noticed the bug: > So MP using xchg: > > WRITE_ONCE(x, 1) > xchg(y, 1) > > smp_load_acquire(y) == 1 > READ_ONCE(x) == 0 > > would be allowed. ... which thus violates the above requirement. Fix it by adding a leading smp_mb() to the xchg() and cmpxchg() implementations. Reported-by: Will Deacon <will.dea...@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri <parri.and...@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
