From 03f5d58fa42fb337b921e57f8e2c2d4df7df890d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 16:23:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_ref: use atomic_set_release in page_ref_unfreeze page_ref_unfreeze() has exactly that semantic. No functional changes: just minus one barrier and proper handling of PPro errata.
