    sched/wake_q: Fix wakeup ordering for wake_q · 4c4e3731
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Notable cmpxchg() does not provide ordering when it fails, however
    wake_q_add() requires ordering in this specific case too. Without this
    it would be possible for the concurrent wakeup to not observe our
    prior state.

      C wake_up_q-wake_q_add
    
      {
    	int next = 0;
    	int y = 0;
      }
    
      P0(int *next, int *y)
      {
    	int r0;
    
    	/* in wake_up_q() */
    
    	WRITE_ONCE(*next, 1);   /* node->next = NULL */
    	smp_mb();               /* implied by wake_up_process() */
    	r0 = READ_ONCE(*y);
      }
    
      P1(int *next, int *y)
      {
    	int r1;
    
    	/* in wake_q_add() */
    
    	WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1);      /* wake_cond = true */
    	smp_mb__before_atomic();
    	r1 = cmpxchg_relaxed(next, 1, 2);
      }
