Subject: [PATCH 1/7 V6] workqueue: ensure the wq_worker_sleeping() see the right flags
Date: Sun, 9 Sep 2012 01:12:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1347124383-18723-2-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1347124383-18723-1-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
The compiler may compile this code into TWO write/modify instructions.
worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;
so the other CPU may see the temporary of worker->flags which has
not WORKER_UNBOUND nor WORKER_REBIND, it will wrongly do local wake up.
so we use one write/modify instruction explicitly instead.
This bug will not occur on idle workers, because they have another
WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flags.
