From 506458efaf153c1ea480591c5602a5a3ba5a3b76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 11:22:48 +0100 Subject: locking/barriers: Convert users of lockless_dereference() to READ_ONCE() READ_ONCE() now has an implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() call, so it can be used instead of lockless_dereference() without any change in semantics.
