Prev: [PATCH 7/7] scsi: megaraid_sas - Version and documentation update
Next: [GIT PULL sched/core] cpu_stop: implement and use cpu_stop, take#3
From: Tejun Heo on 6 May 2010 13:00
From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The memory barriers must be in the SMP case, not in the !SMP case.
Also add a barrier after the atomic_inc() in order to ensure that
other CPUs see post-synchronize_sched_expedited() actions as following
the expedited grace period.
