The spin_trylock() was assumed to contain the implicit barrier needed to ensure the correct ordering between STATE_MISSED setting/clearing and STATE_MISSED checking in commit a90c57f2cedd ("net: sched: fix packet stuck problem for lockless qdisc"). But it turns out that spin_trylock() only has load-acquire semantic, for strongly-ordered system(like x86), the compiler barrier implicitly contained in spin_trylock() seems enough to ensure the correct ordering. But for weakly-orderly system (like arm64), the store-release semantic is needed to ensure the correct ordering as clear_bit() and test_bit() is store operation, see queued_spin_lock(). So add the explicit barrier to ensure the correct ordering for the above case.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
