(I see no similarities with Ganesh's patch)

hm, you probably meant this one https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/23/406


at glance this makes things a bit more complicated, so I need to think more.

->init_done returns back :)
can we rely on write ->meta; wmb; --- rmb; read ->meta?

how much performance do we lose on barriers?

missing wmb?

I think we also better put comments after every wmb/rmb. like

	smp_wmb(); /* pairs with rmb() in foo() */
