Event Timeline

I believe that the patch itself if fine.

But I noted a thing with casueword(32) and its use in kern_umtx.c. It seems that kern_umtx.c assumes that the function has sequential-constistent fence semantic. Note that both lock acquire and release just return success if casueword32 succeeded, in do_lock_normal() and do_unlock_normal(). The full fence semantic is provided on x86, but I suspect all ll/sc arches are affected.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.May 17 2022, 11:47 PM
