From 23657bb192f14b789e4c478def8f11ecc95b4f6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:08:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: add missing wmb() in clear_work_data() Any operation which clears PENDING should be preceded by a wmb to guarantee that the next PENDING owner sees all the changes made before PENDING release. There are only two places where PENDING is cleared - set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() and clear_work_data(). The caller of the former already does smp_wmb() but the latter doesn't have any. Move the wmb above set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() into it and add one to clear_work_data(). There hasn't been any report related to this issue, and, given how clear_work_data() is used, it is extremely unlikely to have caused any actual problems on any architecture.
