Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the page contents can get stale data. Fix this by ensuring SetPageUptodate is always called with the page locked (except in the case of a new page that cannot be visible to other CPUs), and requiring PageUptodate be checked only when the page is locked. To facilitate lockless checks, SetPageUptodate contains an smp_wmb to order preceeding stores before the store to page flags, and a new PageUptodate_NoLock is introduced, which issues a smp_rmb after the page flags are loaded for the test. I'm still not sure that a DMA memory barrier is not required, however I think the logical place to put such a barrier would be in the IO completion routines, when they come back to tell us that they have succeeded. (Help? Anyone?) One thing I like about it is that it unifies the anonymous page handling with the rest of the page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate when they _are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires that they be marked as such. Doing this let me get rid of the smp_wmb's in the page copying functions, which were specially added for anonymous pages for a closely related issue, always vaguely troubled me. Convert core code and some filesystems to use PageUptodate_NoLock, just for reference (a more complete patch follows).
