Subject: [PATCH] bcache: optimize barrier usage for Rmw atomic bitops
Date:   Wed, 29 Jan 2020 10:08:02 -0800
Message-Id: <20200129180802.24626-1-dave@stgolabs.net>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

We can avoid the unnecessary barrier on non LL/SC architectures,
such as x86. Instead, use the smp_mb__after_atomic().
