[PATCH 4.11 65/88] rcu: Add memory barriers for NOCB leader wakeup

Show all headers | View raw

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 6b5fc3a1331810db407c9e0e673dc1837afdc9d0 upstream.

Wait/wakeup operations do not guarantee ordering on their own.  Instead,
either locking or memory barriers are required.  This commit therefore
adds memory barriers to wake_nocb_leader() and nocb_leader_wait().
