[ Upstream commit 872c63fb ] smp_mb__before_spinlock() is intended to upgrade a spin_lock() operation to a full barrier, such that prior stores are ordered with respect to loads and stores occuring inside the critical section. Unfortunately, the core code defines the barrier as smp_wmb(), which is insufficient to provide the required ordering guarantees when used in conjunction with our load-acquire-based spinlock implementation. This patch overrides the arm64 definition of smp_mb__before_spinlock() to map to a full smp_mb(). Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reported-by:
