[PATCH 6/6] fs/epoll: avoid barrier after an epoll_wait(2) timeout
From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Thu Nov 08 2018 - 00:10:40 EST
Upon timeout, we can just exit out of the loop, without
the cost of the changing the task's state smp_store_mb
call. Just exit out of the loop and be done - setting
the task state afterwards will be, of course, redundant.
