x86: add smp_mb() before sending INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR (d6f0f39b) · Commits · 戴 / test

Impact: fix rare x2apic hang On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode. Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI. Signed-off-by:
