I'm not sure about that, the generic version of that reads:

include/asm-generic/barrier.h:#define __smp_store_mb(var, value)  do { WRITE_ONCE(var, value); __smp_mb(); } while (0)

Which doesn't not have an smp_mb() before, so it doesn't actually order
prior; or I'm failing to read the table wrong.
