Subject: [PATCH 1/9 V3] workqueue: ensure the wq_worker_sleeping() see the right flags
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:51:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346259120-6216-2-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1346259120-6216-1-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.
