While commit 83ab38ef0a0b ("jump_label: Fix concurrency issues in
static_key_slow_dec()") fixed one problem, it created yet another,
notably the following is now possible:
slow_dec
if (try_dec) // dec_not_one-ish, false
// enabled == 1
slow_inc
if (inc_not_disabled) // inc_not_zero-ish
// enabled == 2
return
guard((mutex)(&jump_label_mutex);
if (atomic_cmpxchg(1,0)==1) // false, we're 2
slow_dec
if (try-dec) // dec_not_one, true
// enabled == 1
return
else
try_dec() // dec_not_one, false
WARN
Use dec_and_test instead of cmpxchg(), like it was prior to
83ab38ef0a0b. Add a few WARNs for the paranoid.

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 reStructuredText 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.
