[PATCH v2 9/9] mm: use atomic_cmpxchg_acquire in page_ref_freeze().

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

 



page_ref_freeze and page_ref_unfreeze are designed to be used as a pair.
They protect critical sections where struct page can be modified.

page_ref_unfreeze() is protected by _release() atomic operation, but
page_ref_freeze() is not as it is assumed that cmpxch provides the full
barrier.

Instead, use the appropriate atomic_cmpxchg_acquire() to ensure that
memory model is excplicitly followed.
