Subject: [PATCH barrier cleanup v1 3/7] io_uring: remove unnecessary barrier before reading cq head
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2019 23:54:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190424215422.7404-3-source@stbuehler.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190424215422.7404-1-source@stbuehler.de>

The memory operations before reading cq head are unrelated and we
don't care about their order.

Document that the control dependency in combination with READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE forms a barrier we need.
