Subject: [PATCH 5.2 212/215] io_uring: add a memory barrier before atomic_read
From: Zhengyuan Liu <liuzhengyuan@...inos.cn>
commit c0e48f9dea9129aa11bec3ed13803bcc26e96e49 upstream.
There is a hang issue while using fio to do some basic test. The issue
can be easily reproduced using the below script:
while true
do
fio --ioengine=io_uring -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 \
-size=1G -iodepth=64 -name=uring --filename=/dev/zero
done
After several minutes (or more), fio would block at
io_uring_enter->io_cqring_wait in order to waiting for previously
committed sqes to be completed and can't return to user anymore until
we send a SIGTERM to fio. After receiving SIGTERM, fio hangs at
io_ring_ctx_wait_and_kill with a backtrace like this:

The reason is that we had added a req to ctx->pending_async at the very
end, but it didn't get a chance to be processed. How could this happen?
fio#cpu0 wq#cpu1
io_add_to_prev_work io_sq_wq_submit_work
atomic_read() <<< 1
atomic_dec_return() << 1->0
list_empty(); <<< true;
list_add_tail()
atomic_read() << 0 or 1?
As atomic_ops.rst states, atomic_read does not guarantee that the
runtime modification by any other thread is visible yet, so we must take
care of that with a proper implicit or explicit memory barrier.
