[PATCH 4.4 103/268] locking/xchg/alpha: Fix xchg() and cmpxchg() memory ordering bugs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 28 2018 - 06:18:42 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 472e8c55cf6622d1c112dc2bc777f68bbd4189db ]

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.
