Subject: locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()
X-Git-Tag: microblaze-4.10-rc1~1094
X-Git-Url: http://git.monstr.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54cf809b9512be95f53ed4a5e3b631d1ac42f0fa;p=linux-2.6-microblaze.git

locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()

Similar to commits:

  51d7d5205d33 ("powerpc: Add smp_mb() to arch_spin_is_locked()")
  d86b8da04dfa ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers")

qspinlock suffers from the fact that the _Q_LOCKED_VAL store is
unordered inside the ACQUIRE of the lock.

And while this is not a problem for the regular mutual exclusive
critical section usage of spinlocks, it breaks creative locking like:

	spin_lock(A)			spin_lock(B)
	spin_unlock_wait(B)		if (!spin_is_locked(A))
	do_something()			  do_something()

In that both CPUs can end up running do_something at the same time,
because our _Q_LOCKED_VAL store can drop past the spin_unlock_wait()
spin_is_locked() loads (even on x86!!).

To avoid making the normal case slower, add smp_mb()s to the less used
spin_unlock_wait() / spin_is_locked() side of things to avoid this
problem.
