The "__test_and_set_bit()" thing isn't atomic at all, and no amount of memory barriers around it would help (you'd need to use real locking, but at that point the memory barriers are pointless anyway). > + /* > + * Ensure ordering between ->tag_index[tag] clear and tag clear > + */ > + smp_mb__after_clear_bit(); You still left this one. But never mind - I already edited your original patch and it's in my tree with both of those things removed.
