From b393e8b33efd2ee08576ceddc10c2b4bfb3b5435 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2017 10:20:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] percpu: READ_ONCE() now implies smp_read_barrier_depends() Because READ_ONCE() now implies smp_read_barrier_depends(), this commit removes the now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends() following the READ_ONCE() in __ref_is_percpu().
