[PATCH] s390: more efficient smp barriers
From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Sun Jan 10 2016 - 06:53:35 EST
As per: lkml.kernel.org/r/20150921112252.3c2937e1@mschwide
atomics imply a barrier on s390, so s390 should change
smp_mb__before_atomic and smp_mb__after_atomic to barrier() instead of
smp_mb() and hence should not use the generic versions.
