Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] maple_tree-remove-extra-smp_wmb-from-mas_dead_leaves.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2023 18:06:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230406010648.88BDAC433D2@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: maple_tree: remove extra smp_wmb() from mas_dead_leaves()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     maple_tree-remove-extra-smp_wmb-from-mas_dead_leaves.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: maple_tree: remove extra smp_wmb() from mas_dead_leaves()
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:36:03 -0800

The call to mte_set_dead_node() before the smp_wmb() already calls
smp_wmb() so this is not needed.  This is an optimization for the RCU mode
of the maple tree.
