From: John Garry <john.garry@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6c6ac8b7773f05f93dc4e4044686e059d1f78dea ] The memories for the slot should be observed to be written prior to observing the slot as ready. Prior to commit 26fc0ea74fcb ("scsi: libsas: Drop SAS_TASK_AT_INITIATOR"), we had a spin_lock() + spin_unlock() immediately before marking the slot as ready. The spin_unlock() - with release semantics - caused the slot memory to be observed to be written. Now that the spin_lock() + spin_unlock() is gone, use a smp_wmb().
