Subject: [PATCH 10/10] mm: use atomic_cmpxchg_acquire in page_ref_freeze().
Date: Wed,  8 Dec 2021 20:35:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211208203544.2297121-11-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211208203544.2297121-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

page_ref_freeze and page_ref_unfreeze are designed to be used as a pair.
They protect critical sections where struct page can be modified.

page_ref_unfreeze() is protected by _release() atomic operation, but
page_ref_freeze() is not as it is assumed that cmpxch provides the full
barrier.

Instead, use the appropriate atomic_cmpxchg_acquire() to ensure that
memory model is excplicitly followed.
