As pointed out by Linus, closure_sync() was racy; we could skip blocking immediately after a get() and a put(), but then that would skip any barrier corresponding to the other thread's put() barrier. To fix this, always do the full __closure_sync() sequence whenever any get() has happened and the closure might have been used by other threads.

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.
