![]() [ Upstream commit cacd9ae4bf801ff4125d8961bb9a3ba955e51680 ] As the comment above waitqueue_active() explains, it can only be used if both waker and waiter have mb()'s that pair with each other. However __pollwait() is broken in this respect. This is not pipe-specific, but let's look at pipe_poll() for example: poll_wait(...); // -> __pollwait() -> add_wait_queue() LOAD(pipe->head); LOAD(pipe->head); In theory these LOAD()'s can leak into the critical section inside add_wait_queue() and can happen before list_add(entry, wq_head), in this case pipe_poll() can race with wakeup_pipe_readers/writers which do smp_mb(); if (waitqueue_active(wq_head)) wake_up_interruptible(wq_head); There are more __pollwait()-like functions (grep init_poll_funcptr), and it seems that at least ep_ptable_queue_proc() has the same problem, so the patch adds smp_mb() into poll_wait().
