Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] liveupdate: Synchronize lazy initialization of FLB private state
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:51:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413185127.128180-3-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413185127.128180-1-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.
