From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Jan 30 2009 - 21:56:40 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Robin Holt <holt@xxxxxxx>

commit 69b3bb65fa97a1e8563518dbbc35cd57beefb2d4 upstream.

The clearing of the msg->flags needs a barrier between it and the notify
of the channel threads that the messages are cleaned and ready for use.
