[PATCH tip/core/rcu 45/88] rcu: Add memory barriers for NOCB leader wakeup

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu May 25 2017 - 18:02:04 EST


Wait/wakeup operations do not guarantee ordering on their own. Instead,
either locking or memory barriers are required. This commit therefore
adds memory barriers to wake_nocb_leader() and nocb_leader_wait().
