[PATCH tip/core/rcu 14/21] netfilter: Remove now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends()

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

 



READ_ONCE() now implies smp_read_barrier_depends(), which means that
the instances in arpt_do_table(), ipt_do_table(), and ip6t_do_table()
are now redundant.  This commit removes them and adjusts the comments.
