The patch titled xfs: remove useless wmb() memory barrier has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was xfs-remove-useless-wmb-memory-barrier.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: xfs: remove useless wmb() memory barrier From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wake_up's implementation does an implicit memory barrier and I think that's the only sane semantics as the caller shouldn't have to worry. So this write memory barrier is useless.
