From 1bfceb375034f7f3222c49e3fbe5bfe820bdcba0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2019 21:48:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bpf, arm64: remove prefetch insn in xadd mapping commit 8968c67a82ab7501bc3b9439c3624a49b42fe54c upstream. Prefetch-with-intent-to-write is currently part of the XADD mapping in the AArch64 JIT and follows the kernel's implementation of atomic_add. This may interfere with other threads executing the LDXR/STXR loop, leading to potential starvation and fairness issues. Drop the optional prefetch instruction.
