From 3a5db0b108e0a40f08c2bcff6a675dbf632b91e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 09:45:10 -0800 Subject: drivers/vhost: Remove now-redundant read_barrier_depends() Because READ_ONCE() now implies read_barrier_depends(), the read_barrier_depends() in next_desc() is now redundant. This commit therefore removes it and the related comments. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: "Michael S.
