commit be6577af0c upstream.
Stalls are quite frequent with recent kernels. I enabled
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR and I caught the following stall:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [cc1:22803]
CPU: 0 PID: 22803 Comm: cc1 Not tainted 5.6.17+ #3
Hardware name: 9000/800/rp3440

IAOQ[1]: d_alloc_parallel+0x388/0x688

The code was stuck in this loop in d_alloc_parallel:
4037d414: 0e 00 10 dc ldd 0(r16),ret0
4037d418: c7 fc 5f ed bb,< ret0,1f,4037d414 <d_alloc_parallel+0x384>
4037d41c: 08 00 02 40 nop
This is the inner loop of bit_spin_lock which is called by hlist_bl_unlock in
d_alloc_parallel:
static inline void bit_spin_lock(int bitnum, unsigned long *addr)
{
/*
* Assuming the lock is uncontended, this never enters
* the body of the outer loop. If it is contended, then
* within the inner loop a non-atomic test is used to
* busywait with less bus contention for a good time to
* attempt to acquire the lock bit.
*/
preempt_disable();
#if defined(CONFIG_SMP) || defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK)
while (unlikely(test_and_set_bit_lock(bitnum, addr))) {
preempt_enable();
do {
cpu_relax();
} while (test_bit(bitnum, addr));
preempt_disable();
}
#endif
__acquire(bitlock);
}
After consideration, I realized that we must be losing bit unlocks.
Then, I noticed that we missed defining atomic64_set_release().
Adding this define fixes the stalls in bit operations.

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.
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.
