![]() Successful RMW operations are supposed to be fully ordered, but Alpha's xchg() and cmpxchg() do not meet this requirement. Will Deacon noticed the bug: > So MP using xchg: > > WRITE_ONCE(x, 1) > xchg(y, 1) > > smp_load_acquire(y) == 1 > READ_ONCE(x) == 0 > > would be allowed. ... which thus violates the above requirement. Fix it by adding a leading smp_mb() to the xchg() and cmpxchg() implementations. Reported-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
