- Fix dm-bufio to use test_bit_acquire to properly test_bit on arches
with weaker memory ordering.
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")
