Hi, thanks for the updated disassembly. > 55bab0: 82 10 60 01 or %g1, 1, %g1 > spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); > 55bab4: 40 06 4b 20 call 6ee734 <_spin_unlock> > 55bab8: c2 24 e0 28 st %g1, [ %l3 + 0x28 ] OK, so it really seems that: jinode->i_flags |= JI_COMMIT_RUNNING; spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); has been compiled to ld [ %l3 + 0x28 ], %g1 or %g1, 1, %g1 call 6ee734 <_spin_unlock> st %g1, [ %l3 + 0x28 ] Which seems like a bug in the compiler or in the way implement compiler barriers in spin_unlock() on UP sparc. Or is there some sparc magic by which this is correct code? Any clever sparc guy?
