Subject: [PATCH 5.5 002/119] locks: reinstate locks_delete_block optimization
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
[ Upstream commit dcf23ac3e846ca0cf626c155a0e3fcbbcf4fae8a ]
There is measurable performance impact in some synthetic tests due to
commit 6d390e4b5d48 (locks: fix a potential use-after-free problem when
wakeup a waiter). Fix the race condition instead by clearing the
fl_blocker pointer after the wake_up, using explicit acquire/release
semantics.
This does mean that we can no longer use the clearing of fl_blocker as
the wait condition, so switch the waiters over to checking whether the
fl_blocked_member list_head is empty.
