Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 3/6] fs: spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 21:43:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111024017.675599-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111024017.675599-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit cb5db358ab5769cbd3e8e864f14af321126cccdb ]

The incomming helpers don't ship with _release/_acquire variants, for
the time being anyway.
