Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 11/15] Documentation/litmus-tests: add hazptr acquire-before-scan test
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 01:08:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002170847.3653663-12-kunwu.chan@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002170847.3653663-1-kunwu.chan@gmail.com>
Add an LKMM test for the hazard-pointer publication protocol used
by the lockdep conversion.
The test checks that a scan cannot miss a hazard-pointer
publication while the reader still observes the pre-unpublish
pointer. The smp_mb() pair provides the required ordering.
This covers the resolved-publication case. The in-flight wildcard
window of the wildcard-flip scan is covered by
hazptr-wildcard-flip-escape.litmus.
Verified with herd7: Never 0 3.
