[PATCH 1/2] sbitmap: use smp_mb__after_atomic() in sbq_wake_up()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>

We always do an atomic clear_bit() right before we call sbq_wake_up(),
so we can use smp_mb__after_atomic(). While we're here, comment the
memory barriers in here a little more.
