Thanks for reporting and fixing this.

There are actually four commits that this fixes across ppc32/ppc64:
Fixes: aea7ef8a82c0 ("powerpc/bpf/32: add support for BPF_ATOMIC bitwise operations")
Fixes: 2d9206b22743 ("powerpc/bpf/32: Add instructions for atomic_[cmp]xchg")
Fixes: dbe6e2456fb0 ("powerpc/bpf/64: add support for atomic fetch operations")
Fixes: 1e82dfaa7819 ("powerpc/bpf/64: Add instructions for atomic_[cmp]xchg")

I think this block should go before the previous two instructions. We 
use tmp_idx as a label to retry the ll/sc sequence, so we will end up 
executing the 'sync' operation on a retry here.

Same here.

I'll try and give this a test tomorrow.
