Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs,
1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd.
All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate
page.

From: Nick Piggin @ 2007-02-15 7:31 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Andrew Morton; +Cc: Linux Kernel, Nick Piggin, Linux Memory Management
After running SetPageUptodate, preceeding stores to the page contents to
actually bring it uptodate may not be ordered with the store to set the page
uptodate.
Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the
page contents can get stale data.
Fix this by ensuring SetPageUptodate is always called with the page locked
(except in the case of a new page that cannot be visible to other CPUs), and
requiring PageUptodate be checked only when the page is locked.
To facilitate lockless checks, SetPageUptodate contains an smp_wmb to order
preceeding stores before the store to page flags, and a new PageUptodate_NoLock
is introduced, which issues a smp_rmb after the page flags are loaded for the
test.
DMA memory barrier is not required, because the driver / IO subsystem must
bring that into order before telling the core kernel that the read has
completed.
One thing I like about it is that it unifies the anonymous page handling
with the rest of the page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate
when they _are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires
that they be marked as such. Doing this let me get rid of the smp_wmb's
in the page copying functions which, specially added for anonymous pages
for a closely related issue, didn't quite match file backed page handling.
Convert core code to use PageUptodate_NoLock. Filesystems are unaffected
thanks to the change to read_cache_page.
