From 4b944f8ef99641d5af287c7d9df91d20ef5d3e88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baokun Li Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2024 22:28:56 +0800 Subject: Revert "mm/filemap: avoid buffered read/write race to read inconsistent data" This reverts commit e2c27b803bb6 ("mm/filemap: avoid buffered read/write race to read inconsistent data"). After making the i_size_read/write helpers be smp_load_acquire/store_release(), it is already guaranteed that changes to page contents are visible before we see increased inode size, so the extra smp_rmb() in filemap_read() can be removed.
