Almog Khaikin 649bb75d19 io_uring: fix memory ordering when SQPOLL thread goes to sleep
Without a full memory barrier between the store to the flags and the
load of the SQ tail the two operations can be reordered and this can
lead to a situation where the SQPOLL thread goes to sleep while the
application writes to the SQ tail and doesn't see the wakeup flag.
This memory barrier pairs with a full memory barrier in the application
between its store to the SQ tail and its load of the flags.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
