Peter Zijlstra's "x86/atomic: Fix smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()" upstream commit 69d927bba39517d0980462efc051875b7f4db185 seems to be missing/lost from 4.9 and older stable kernels. That patch has 10 hunks, first one of those does not apply cleanly to 4.9 kernel because it attempts to modify Documentation/atomic_t.txt file which does not exist in older kernels. Other 9 hunks apply with small offsets and fuzz, but modifications find their correct places anyway. Those other 9 hunks are the important ones, first hunk can be ignored. Greg, Please take Peter Zijlstra's original patch and "force" apply it like this to 4.9 kernels: patch -p1 -f
