    Peter Zijlstra's "x86/atomic: Fix smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()"
    upstream commit 69d927bba39517d0980462efc051875b7f4db185 seems to
    be missing/lost from 4.9 and older stable kernels.

    That patch has 10 hunks, first one of those does not apply cleanly to
    4.9 kernel because it attempts to modify Documentation/atomic_t.txt
    file which does not exist in older kernels. Other 9 hunks apply with
    small offsets and fuzz, but modifications find their correct places anyway.
    Those other 9 hunks are the important ones, first hunk can be ignored.

    Greg,
    Please take Peter Zijlstra's original patch and "force" apply it like this
    to 4.9 kernels:

    patch -p1 -f <ORIGINAL.patch

    and for 4.4 kernels like this:

    cat ORIGINAL.patch | sed -e 's/__smp_mb__/smp_mb__/' | patch -p1 -f -l
