      locking/seqcount: Re-fix raw_read_seqcount_latch() · 55eed755
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Commit 50755bc1 ("seqlock: fix raw_read_seqcount_latch()") broke
raw_read_seqcount_latch().

If you look at the comment that was modified; the thing that changes is
the seq count, not the latch pointer.

 * void latch_modify(struct latch_struct *latch, ...)
 * {
 *	smp_wmb();	<- Ensure that the last data[1] update is visible
 *	latch->seq++;
 *	smp_wmb();	<- Ensure that the seqcount update is visible
 *
 *	modify(latch->data[0], ...);
 *
 *	smp_wmb();	<- Ensure that the data[0] update is visible
 *	latch->seq++;
 *	smp_wmb();	<- Ensure that the seqcount update is visible
 *
 *	modify(latch->data[1], ...);
 * }
 *
 * The query will have a form like:
 *
 * struct entry *latch_query(struct latch_struct *latch, ...)
 * {
 *	struct entry *entry;
 *	unsigned seq, idx;
 *
 *	do {
 *		seq = lockless_dereference(latch->seq);

So here we have:

		seq = READ_ONCE(latch->seq);
		smp_read_barrier_depends();

Which is exactly what we want; the new code:

		seq = ({ p = READ_ONCE(latch);
			 smp_read_barrier_depends(); p })->seq;

is just wrong; because it looses the volatile read on seq, which can now
be torn or worse 'optimized'. And the read_depend barrier is also placed
wrong, we want it after the load of seq, to match the above data[]
up-to-date wmb()s.

Such that when we dereference latch->data[] below, we're guaranteed to
observe the right data.

 *
 *		idx = seq & 0x01;
 *		entry = data_query(latch->data[idx], ...);
 *
 *		smp_rmb();
 *	} while (seq != latch->seq);
 *
 *	return entry;
 * }

So yes, not passing a pointer is not pretty, but the code was correct,
and isn't anymore now.

Change to explicit READ_ONCE()+smp_read_barrier_depends() to avoid
confusion and allow strict lockless_dereference() checking.
