blk-mq: fix waitqueue_active without memory barrier in block/blk-mq-tag.c
blk_mq_tag_update_depth() seems to be missing a memory barrier which might cause the waker to not notice the waiter and fail to send a wake_up as in the following figure. blk_mq_tag_update_depth bt_get ------------------------------------------------------------------------ if (waitqueue_active(&bs->wait)) /* The CPU might reorder the test for the waitqueue up here, before prior writes complete */ prepare_to_wait(&bs->wait, &wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); tag = __bt_get(hctx, bt, last_tag, tags); /* Value set in bt_update_count not visible yet */ bt_update_count(&tags->bitmap_tags, tdepth); /* blk_mq_tag_wakeup_all(tags, false); */ bt = &tags->bitmap_tags; wake_index = atomic_read(&bt->wake_index); ... io_schedule(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This patch adds the missing memory barrier. I found this issue when I was looking through the linux source code for places calling waitqueue_active() before wake_up*(), but without preceding memory barriers, after sending a patch to fix a similar issue in drivers/tty/n_tty.c (Details about the original issue can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/28/849).
