Currently the code assumes that there's an implied barrier by the
sequence of code preceding the wakeup, namely the mutex unlock.
As Nikolay pointed out:
I think this is wrong (not your code) but the original assumption that
the RELEASE semantics provided by mutex_unlock is sufficient.
According to memory-barriers.txt:
Section 'LOCK ACQUISITION FUNCTIONS' states:
(2) RELEASE operation implication:
Memory operations issued before the RELEASE will be completed before the
RELEASE operation has completed.
Memory operations issued after the RELEASE *may* be completed before the
RELEASE operation has completed.
(I've bolded the may portion)
The example given there:
As an example, consider the following:
*A = a;
*B = b;
ACQUIRE
*C = c;
*D = d;
RELEASE
*E = e;
*F = f;
The following sequence of events is acceptable:
ACQUIRE, {*F,*A}, *E, {*C,*D}, *B, RELEASE
So if we assume that *C is modifying the flag which the waitqueue is checking,
and *E is the actual wakeup, then those accesses can be re-ordered...
IMHO this code should be considered broken...
---
To be on the safe side, add the barriers. The synchronization logic
around log using the mutexes and several other threads does not make it
easy to reason for/against the barrier.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
