To distinguish an in-progress initialization from an interrupted initialization (in which case we need to reclaim the lock), we look at the fork generation that's part of the second state: We can reclaim iff it differs from the current fork generation. XXX: This algorithm has an ABA issue on the fork generation: If an initialization is interrupted, we then fork 2^30 times (30 bits of once_control are used for the fork generation), and try to initialize again, we can deadlock because we can't distinguish the in-progress and interrupted cases anymore. */ int __pthread_once (once_control, init_routine) pthread_once_t *once_control; void (*init_routine) (void); { while (1) { int oldval, val, newval; /* We need acquire memory order for this load because if the value signals that initialization has finished, we need to be see any data modifications done during initialization. */ val = *once_control; atomic_read_barrier(); do { /* Check if the initialization has already been done. */ if (__glibc_likely ((val & 2) != 0)) return 0; oldval = val; /* We try to set the state to in-progress and having the current fork generation.
