4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 56d806222ace4c3aeae516cd7a855340fb2839d8 ] sock_reset_flag() maps to __clear_bit() not the atomic version clear_bit(). Thus, we need smp_mb(), smp_mb__after_atomic() is not sufficient.
