Subject: [PATCH] Remove useless wmb() memory barrier
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 00:52:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061208005214.GA18015@linux-mips.org> (raw)
wake_up's implementation does an implicit memory barrier and I think
that's the only sane semantics as the caller shouldn't have to worry.
So this write memory barrier is useless.
