vlib: Handle race in thread barrier processing
When CLIB_DEBUG is enabled, vlib_foreach_main macro asserts that vlib_main it currently looks at is safely parked in barrier, by checkling that vlib_main->parked_at_barrier is not 0. Unfortunately, the check is racy - workers first increment the atomic counter to indicate that they have reached the barrier and _then_ set this_main->parked_at_barrier to 1. For the last worker to suspend this opens the race - main thread is free to execute and assert immediately after atomic counter has been incremented, before worker gets to write to own parked_at_barrier. Fix this by simply swapping the order of two operations. Type: fix Signed-off-by: Alexnader Kabaev <kan@FreeBSD.org> Change-Id: Iae47abd6ca0be1c5413f5ecaefabc64cd7eac2ed
