Subject: qsbr: save two full smp_mb() when the writer is also a reader.
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~80
X-Git-Url: http://git.liburcu.org/?p=urcu.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f50d1ce191ad5f85384c0afbf1ac5b7516ea79f

qsbr: save two full smp_mb() when the writer is also a reader.

Now that you've put the barriers before taking lock, and after releasing
it, one can expand the _rcu_thread_{on,off}line call, and optimize two
barrier calls away. (this is patch 1/2).
