If a spinner is present, there is a chance that the load of
rwsem_has_spinner() in rwsem_wake() can be reordered with
respect to decrement of rwsem count in __up_write() leading
to wakeup being missed:
spinning writer up_write caller
--------------- -----------------------
[S] osq_unlock() [L] osq
spin_lock(wait_lock)
sem->count=0xFFFFFFFF00000001
+0xFFFFFFFF00000000
count=sem->count
MB
sem->count=0xFFFFFFFE00000001
-0xFFFFFFFF00000001
spin_trylock(wait_lock)
return
rwsem_try_write_lock(count)
spin_unlock(wait_lock)
schedule()
Reordering of atomic_long_sub_return_release() in __up_write()
and rwsem_has_spinner() in rwsem_wake() can cause missing of
wakeup in up_write() context. In spinning writer, sem->count
and local variable count is 0XFFFFFFFE00000001. It would result
in rwsem_try_write_lock() failing to acquire rwsem and spinning
writer going to sleep in rwsem_down_write_failed().
The smp_rmb() will make sure that the spinner state is
consulted after sem->count is updated in up_write context.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
