Subject: [PATCH v4 08/10] riscv: Remove arch specific __atomic_acquire/release_fence
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:24:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020042457.30915-4-luxu.kernel@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251020042457.30915-1-luxu.kernel@bytedance.com>

Remove arch specific __atomic_acquire/release_fence() operations since
they use fence instruction to simulate acquire/release order and can not
work well with real acquire/release instructions.

The default generic __atomic_acuire/release_fence() now provide sequential
order via 'fennce rw, rw'. They are rarely called since we use real
acquire/release instructions in most of times.
