sched: fix exit_mm vs membarrier (v4)
exit_mm should issue memory barriers after user-space memory accesses,
before clearing current->mm, to order user-space memory accesses
performed prior to exit_mm before clearing tsk->mm, which has the
effect of skipping the membarrier private expedited IPIs.
exit_mm should also update the runqueue's membarrier_state so
membarrier global expedited IPIs are not sent when they are not
needed.
The membarrier system call can be issued concurrently with do_exit
if we have thread groups created with CLONE_VM but not CLONE_THREAD.
Here is the scenario I have in mind:
Two thread groups are created, A and B. Thread group B is created by
issuing clone from group A with flag CLONE_VM set, but not CLONE_THREAD.
Let's assume we have a single thread within each thread group (Thread A
and Thread B).
The AFAIU we can have:
Userspace variables:
int x = 0, y = 0;
CPU 0 CPU 1
Thread A Thread B
(in thread group A) (in thread group B)
x = 1
barrier()
y = 1
exit()
exit_mm()
current->mm = NULL;
r1 = load y
membarrier()
skips CPU 0 (no IPI) because its current mm is NULL
r2 = load x
BUG_ON(r1 == 1 && r2 == 0)
