[ Upstream commit6dc080eeb2] For some peculiar reason rcuwait_wake_up() has the right barrier in the comment, but not in the code. This mistake has been observed to cause a deadlock in the following situation: P1 P2 percpu_up_read() percpu_down_write() rcu_sync_is_idle() // false rcu_sync_enter() ... __percpu_up_read() [S] ,- __this_cpu_dec(*sem->read_count) | smp_rmb(); [L] | task = rcu_dereference(w->task) // NULL | | [S] w->task = current | smp_mb(); | [L] readers_active_check() // fail `-> <store happens here> Where the smp_rmb() (obviously) fails to constrain the store.

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.
