[101/104] jump_label: jump_label_inc may return before the code is patched

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Dec 07 2011 - 11:29:41 EST


3.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gleb Natapov <gleb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bbbf7af4bf8fc69bc751818cf30521080fa47dcb upstream.

If cpu A calls jump_label_inc() just after atomic_add_return() is
called by cpu B, atomic_inc_not_zero() will return value greater then
zero and jump_label_inc() will return to a caller before jump_label_update()
finishes its job on cpu B.
