From b78255d6cffbc464f3c554724ccbf26b0af8f881 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Parri Date: Mon, 20 May 2019 19:23:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bio: fix improper use of smp_mb__before_atomic() commit f381c6a4bd0ae0fde2d6340f1b9bb0f58d915de6 upstream. This barrier only applies to the read-modify-write operations; in particular, it does not apply to the atomic_set() primitive. Replace the barrier with an smp_mb().
