From ccdea2f88b5689f0fd29c3804be43a3acf0311e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:40:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] futex: remove unneeded barrier When disassembling a kernel I found around over 90 sync Instructions from mb, rmb and wmb calls in the kernel and only few of those make any sense to me. So here's the first one - I think the wmb() in kernel/futex.c is not needed on uniprocessors so should become an smb_wmb().
