SubjectRe: [PATCH] kernel/futex.c: Uneeded memory barrier
Date
In message <3F620E61.4080604@terra.com.br> you write:
> Kills an unneeded set_current_state after schedule_timeout, since it
> already guarantees that the task will be TASK_RUNNING.

I thought we already got rid of that once: damn thing won't die...

> Also, when setting the state to TASK_RUNNING, isn't that memory
> barrier unneeded? Patch removes this memory barrier too.

I personally *HATE* the set_task_state()/__set_task_state() macros.
Simple assignments shouldn't be hidden behind macros, unless there's
something really subtle involved.

Personally, when there's a normal and a __ version of a function, I
use the normal version unless there's a real (performance or
correctness) reason. (ie. I prefer the "think less" version 8).

I don't mind either way. I'll roll it in the next update.

Cheers,
Rusty.
