From a22a9602b88fabf10847f238ff81fde5f906fef7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kent Overstreet Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2019 21:25:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] closures: fix a race on wakeup from closure_sync The race was when a thread using closure_sync() notices cl->s->done == 1 before the thread calling closure_put() calls wake_up_process(). Then, it's possible for that thread to return and exit just before wake_up_process() is called - so we're trying to wake up a process that no longer exists. rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to protect against this, as there's an rcu barrier somewhere in the process teardown path.
