to make things easier to understand. Adding a barrier in here also fixes the issue.
Reasoning follows below:
> - ind_new = ind_old | to_be_set;
with an analysis from Andreas (cc)
#define atomic_cmpxchg__nocheck(ptr, old, new) ({ \
typeof_strip_qual(*ptr) _old = (old); \
(void)__atomic_compare_exchange_n(ptr, &_old, new, false, \
__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST); \
_old; \
})
ind_old is copied into _old in the macro. Instead of doing the copy from the
register the compiler reloads the value from memory. The result is that _old
and ind_old end up having different values. _old in r1 with the bits set
already and ind_old in r10 with the bits cleared. _old gets updated by CS
and matches ind_old afterwards - both with the bits being 0. So the !=
compare is false and the loop is left without having set any bits.
Paolo (to),
I am asking myself if it would be safer to add a barrier or something like
this in the macros in include/qemu/atomic.h.
