sparc32: unbreak arch_write_unlock()
commit 3f6aa0b113846a8628baa649af422cfc6fb1d786 upstream. The sparc32 version of arch_write_unlock() is just a plain assignment. Unfortunately this allows the compiler to schedule side-effects in a protected region to occur after the HW-level unlock, which is broken. E.g., the following trivial test case gets miscompiled: #include <linux/spinlock.h> rwlock_t lock; int counter; void foo(void) { write_lock(&lock); ++counter; write_unlock(&lock); } Fixed by adding a compiler memory barrier to arch_write_unlock(). The sparc64 version combines the barrier and assignment into a single asm(), and implements the operation as a static inline, so that's what I did too. Compile-tested with sparc32_defconfig + CONFIG_SMP=y. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: David S.
