There is a very tight race where the irq_retrigger function is run on one cpu and the actual retrigger softirq is running on a second cpu. When this happens, there may be a chance that the second cpu will not see the updated irq_pending value from first cpu. Add a memory barrier to ensure that irq_pending is read correctly.
