From a464adeb7e8f1cd65ca911e20a7c02e452dc2c17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zach Brown Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:28:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb() Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb() AIO's use of wait_on_bit_lock()/wake_up_bit() forgot to add a barrier between clearing its lock bit and calling wake_up_bit() so wake_up_bit()'s unlocked waitqueue_active() can race. This puts AIO's use in line with the others and the comment above wake_up_bit().
