| |
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>
commit fe1bce9e2107ba3a8faffe572483b6974201a0e6 upstream.
Otherwise an incoming waker on the dest hash bucket can miss the waiter adding itself to the plist during the lockless check optimization (small window but still the correct way of doing this); similarly to the decrement counterpart.
