  [PATCH 2/4 v3] spinlock.h: Move smp_mb__after_unlock_lock to spinlock.h Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> - 2016-08-28 20:10 +0200

#1471428 — [PATCH 2/4 v3] spinlock.h: Move smp_mb__after_unlock_lock to spinlock.h

v3: If smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is in barrier.h, then
for arm64, kernel/rcu/tree.c doesn't compile because barrier.h
is not included in kernel/rcu/tree.c

(v2 was: add example from Paul, something that can happen on real HW)

spin_unlock() + spin_lock() together do not form a full memory barrier:
(everything initialized to 0)

CPU1:
  a=1;
  spin_unlock(&b);
  spin_lock(&c);
+ smp_mb__after_unlock_lock();
  r1=d;

CPU2:
  d=1;
  smp_mb();
  r2=a;

Without the smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), r1==0 && r2==0 would
be possible.
