dm bufio: use the acquire memory barrier when testing for B_READING
The function test_bit doesn't provide any memory barrier. It may be possible that the read requests that follow test_bit(B_READING, &b->state) are reordered before the test, reading invalid data that existed before B_READING was cleared. Fix this bug by changing test_bit to test_bit_acquire. This is particularly important on arches with weak(er) memory ordering (e.g. arm64). Depends-On: 8238b4579866 ("wait_on_bit: add an acquire memory barrier") Depends-On: d6ffe6067a54 ("provide arch_test_bit_acquire for architectures that define test_bit") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>
