From 4c4e3731564c8945ac5ac90fc2a1e1f21cb79c92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 10:14:53 +0100 Subject: sched/wake_q: Fix wakeup ordering for wake_q 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. Andrea Parri provided: 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); } exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=0) This "exists" clause cannot be satisfied according to the LKMM: Test wake_up_q-wake_q_add Allowed States 3 0:r0=0; 1:r1=1; 0:r0=1; 1:r1=0; 0:r0=1; 1:r1=1; No Witnesses Positive: 0 Negative: 3 Condition exists (0:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=0) Observation wake_up_q-wake_q_add Never 0 3 Reported-by: Yongji Xie Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Davidlohr Bueso Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Waiman Long Cc: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/sched/core.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/sched') diff --git a/kernel/sched/core.c b/kernel/sched/core.c index cc814933f7d6..d8d76a65cfdd 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/core.c +++ b/kernel/sched/core.c @@ -417,10 +417,11 @@ void wake_q_add(struct wake_q_head *head, struct task_struct *task) * its already queued (either by us or someone else) and will get the * wakeup due to that. * - * This cmpxchg() executes a full barrier, which pairs with the full - * barrier executed by the wakeup in wake_up_q(). + * In order to ensure that a pending wakeup will observe our pending + * state, even in the failed case, an explicit smp_mb() must be used. */ - if (cmpxchg(&node->next, NULL, WAKE_Q_TAIL)) + smp_mb__before_atomic(); + if (cmpxchg_relaxed(&node->next, NULL, WAKE_Q_TAIL)) return; get_task_struct(task); -- cgit
