From e16aa207ccb61c5111525c462eeeba1f3f5fd370 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 00:11:33 -0800 Subject: [NET]: Memory barrier cleanups I believe all the below memory barriers only matter on SMP so therefore the smp_* variant of the barrier should be used. I'm wondering if the barrier in net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c should be dropped entirely. schedule_work's implementation currently implies a memory barrier and I think sane semantics of schedule_work() should imply a memory barrier, as needed so the caller shouldn't have to worry. It's not quite obvious why the barrier in net/packet/af_packet.c is needed; maybe it should be implied through flush_dcache_page? Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: David S.
