sched/wait: Fix rcuwait_wake_up() ordering
For some peculiar reason rcuwait_wake_up() has the right barrier in the comment, but not in the code. This mistake has been observed to cause a deadlock in the following situation: P1 P2 percpu_up_read() percpu_down_write() rcu_sync_is_idle() // false rcu_sync_enter() ... __percpu_up_read() [S] ,- __this_cpu_dec(*sem->read_count) | smp_rmb(); [L] | task = rcu_dereference(w->task) // NULL | | [S] w->task = current | smp_mb(); | [L] readers_active_check() // fail `-> <store happens here> Where the smp_rmb() (obviously) fails to constrain the store.
