Subject: [PATCH v3 02/10] liveupdate: Synchronize lazy initialization of FLB private state
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:33:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327033335.696621-3-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327033335.696621-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

The luo_flb_get_private() function, which is responsible for lazily
initializing the private state of FLB objects, can be called
concurrently from multiple threads. This creates a data
race on the 'initialized' flag and can lead to multiple executions of
mutex_init() and INIT_LIST_HEAD() on the same memory.

Introduce a static spinlock (luo_flb_init_lock) local to the function
to synchronize the initialization path. Use smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() for memory ordering between the fast path and the
slow path.
