From 069f38b4983efaea92cbe7cc0cacc057af55739a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2015 20:50:49 -0400 Subject: tty: Replace smp_rmb/smp_wmb with smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release Clarify flip buffer producer/consumer operation; the use of smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() more clearly indicates which memory access requires a barrier.
