From eb067d431d9411a0054bc3ec084b0e9eadbb0a16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yipeng Wang Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 09:59:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hash: fix a multi-writer race condition Current multi-writer implementation uses Intel TSX to protect the cuckoo path moving but not the cuckoo path searching. After searching, we need to verify again if the same empty slot still exists at the beginning of the TSX region. Otherwise another writer could occupy the empty slot before the TSX region. Current code does not verify.
