[PATCH 2/3] Drivers: hv: ring_buffer: remove stray smp_read_barrier_depends()

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

 



smp_read_barrier_depends() does nothing on almost all arcitectures
including x86 and having it in the beginning of
hv_get_ringbuffer_availbytes() does not provide any guarantees anyway.
