Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] lib/vsprintf: Use acquire/release for ptr_key publication
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 15:47:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902074805.398540-3-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902074805.398540-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
Replace the smp_wmb() + WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() + smp_rmb() barrier
pair with smp_store_release()/smp_load_acquire() on filled_random_ptr_key.
This expresses the publish/subscribe pattern more clearly and allows
architectures with native acquire/release instructions (e.g. arm64's
STLR/LDAR) to avoid the cost of full one-way barriers (DMB ISHST/ISHLD).
No functional change intended.
