[PATCH 6.2 170/173] maple_tree: remove extra smp_wmb() from mas_dead_leaves()

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

 



From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8372f4d83f96f35915106093cde4565836587123 upstream.

The call to mte_set_dead_node() before the smp_wmb() already calls
smp_wmb() so this is not needed.  This is an optimization for the RCU mode
of the maple tree.
