Subject: [PATCH] locking/qrwlock: Fix ordering in queued_write_lock_slowpath
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 14:25:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210415142552.30916-1-alisaidi@amazon.com> (raw)
While this code is executed with the wait_lock held, a reader can
acquire the lock without holding wait_lock. The writer side loops
checking the value with the atomic_cond_read_acquire(), but only truly
acquires the lock when the compare-and-exchange is completed
successfully which isn’t ordered. The other atomic operations from this
point are release-ordered and thus reads after the lock acquisition can
be completed before the lock is truly acquired which violates the
guarantees the lock should be making.
Fixes: b519b56e378ee ("locking/qrwlock: Use atomic_cond_read_acquire() when spinning in qrwloc")
