I see that commit in older versions of linux-next but not in mainline.

In mainline it seems to be: 9e343b467c70 ("READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses")

I guess it got rebased somewhere along the way.

I fixed it up when applying, and the other two as well.

cheers
