From 7c3f2ab7b844f1a859afbc3d41925e8a0faba5fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 12:35:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/rt: Add missing rmb() While discussing the proposed SCHED_DEADLINE patches which in parts mimic the existing FIFO code it was noticed that the wmb in rt_set_overloaded() didn't have a matching barrier. The only site using rt_overloaded() to test the rto_count is pull_rt_task() and we should issue a matching rmb before then assuming there's an rto_mask bit set. Without that smp_rmb() in there we could actually miss seeing the rto_mask bit. Also, change to using smp_[wr]mb(), even though this is SMP only code; memory barriers without smp_ always make me think they're against hardware of some sort.
