[PATCH v1 2/3] io_uring: fix race condition when sq threads goes sleeping

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Reading the SQ tail needs to come after setting IORING_SQ_NEED_WAKEUP in
flags; there is no cheap barrier for ordering a store before a load, a
full memory barrier is required.

Userspace needs a full memory barrier between updating SQ tail and
checking for the IORING_SQ_NEED_WAKEUP too.
