Also is an optimization. But now here just use bool and seems not that needed. > +static void turn_monitoring_off(void) > +{ > + WRITE_ONCE(monitoring_on, false); > + /* monitoring_on */ > + smp_wmb(); Absolutely the sync I can not see. If not store another after smp_wmb(), even you have smp_wmb() pair, it is not valid in my poor mind that there is no another load before loading of monitoring_on that ensure something like if the another load is *what* then the after load is ensured to be *what* statement (I am sure I am poor on these, but just some words input yeah).
