Mathieu Desnoyers 65af70aa56 mm: add missing release barrier on PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED unlock
commit c0ebbb3841e07c4493e6fe351698806b09a87a37 upstream.

The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node
reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit.

It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which
provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within
__node_reclaim().

It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering
with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit.

The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within
__node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from
a prior node reclaim.  This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g.
x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g.  arm64).

Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear
PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic.

This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
