locking/osq_lock: Fix osq_lock queue corruption
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798539 commit 50972fe7 upstream. Fix ordering of link creation between node->prev and prev->next in osq_lock(). A case in which the status of optimistic spin queue is CPU6->CPU2 in which CPU6 has acquired the lock. tail v ,-. <- ,-. |6| |2| `-' -> `-' At this point if CPU0 comes in to acquire osq_lock, it will update the tail count. CPU2 CPU0 ---------------------------------- tail v ,-. <- ,-. ,-. |6| |2| |0| `-' -> `-' `-' After tail count update if CPU2 starts to unqueue itself from optimistic spin queue, it will find an updated tail count with CPU0 and update CPU2 node->next to NULL in osq_wait_next(). unqueue-A tail v ,-. <- ,-. ,-. |6| |2| |0| `-' `-' `-' unqueue-B ->tail != curr && !node->next If reordering of following stores happen then prev->next where prev being CPU2 would be updated to point to CPU0 node: tail v ,-. <- ,-. ,-. |6| |2| |0| `-' `-' -> `-' osq_wait_next() node->next <- 0 xchg(node->next, NULL) tail v ,-. <- ,-. ,-. |6| |2| |0| `-' `-' `-' unqueue-C At this point if next instruction WRITE_ONCE(next->prev, prev); in CPU2 path is committed before the update of CPU0 node->prev = prev then CPU0 node->prev will point to CPU6 node. tail v----------. v ,-. <- ,-. ,-. |6| |2| |0| `-' `-' `-' `----------^ At this point if CPU0 path's node->prev = prev is committed resulting in change of CPU0 prev back to CPU2 node. CPU2 node->next is NULL currently, tail v ,-. <- ,-. <- ,-. |6| |2| |0| `-' `-' `-' `----------^ so if CPU0 gets into unqueue path of osq_lock it will keep spinning in infinite loop as condition prev->next == node will never be true.
