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.
[ peterz: Added changelog. ]
