[ Upstream commit2e8728c955] In qdisc_run_end(), the spin_unlock() only has store-release semantic, which guarantees all earlier memory access are visible before it. But the subsequent test_bit() has no barrier semantics so may be reordered ahead of the spin_unlock(). The store-load reordering may cause a packet stuck problem. The concurrent operations can be described as below, CPU 0 | CPU 1 qdisc_run_end() | qdisc_run_begin() . | . ----> /* may be reorderd here */ | . | . | . | spin_unlock() | set_bit() | . | smp_mb__after_atomic() ---- test_bit() | spin_trylock() . | . Consider the following sequence of events: CPU 0 reorder test_bit() ahead and see MISSED = 0 CPU 1 calls set_bit() CPU 1 calls spin_trylock() and return fail CPU 0 executes spin_unlock() At the end of the sequence, CPU 0 calls spin_unlock() and does nothing because it see MISSED = 0. The skb on CPU 1 has beed enqueued but no one take it, until the next cpu pushing to the qdisc (if ever ...) will notice and dequeue it. This patch fix this by adding one explicit barrier. As spin_unlock() and test_bit() ordering is a store-load ordering, a full memory barrier smp_mb() is needed here.

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.
