    blk-mq: Fix a race between bt_clear_tag() and bt_get() · c38d185d

    What we need is the following two guarantees:
    * Any thread that observes the effect of the test_and_set_bit() by
      __bt_get_word() also observes the preceding addition of 'current'
      to the appropriate wait list. This is guaranteed by the semantics
      of the spin_unlock() operation performed by prepare_and_wait().
      Hence the conversion of test_and_set_bit_lock() into
      test_and_set_bit().
    * The wait lists are examined by bt_clear() after the tag bit has
      been cleared. clear_bit_unlock() guarantees that any thread that
      observes that the bit has been cleared also observes the store
      operations preceding clear_bit_unlock(). However,
      clear_bit_unlock() does not prevent that the wait lists are examined
      before that the tag bit is cleared. Hence the addition of a memory
      barrier between clear_bit() and the wait list examination.
