Subject: [PATCH 3/4] tty/ldsem: Add missing ACQUIRE to read_failed sleep loop
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 15:49:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190718135206.123357505@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190718134954.496297975@infradead.org

While reviewing rwsem down_slowpath, Will noticed ldsem had a copy of
a bug we just found for rwsem.

  X = 0;

  CPU0			CPU1

  rwsem_down_read()
    for (;;) {
      set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);

                        X = 1;
                        rwsem_up_write();
                          rwsem_mark_wake()
                            atomic_long_add(adjustment, &sem->count);
                            smp_store_release(&waiter->task, NULL);

      if (!waiter.task)
        break;

      ...
    }

  r = X;

Allows 'r == 0'.
