[PATCH v2 2/2] fscache: Add the missing smp_mb__after_atomic() before wake_up_bit()

[Hou Tao]

From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx>

fscache_create_volume_work() uses wake_up_bit() to wake up the processes
which are waiting for the completion of volume creation. According to
comments in wake_up_bit() and waitqueue_active(), an extra smp_mb() is
needed to guarantee the memory order between FSCACHE_VOLUME_CREATING
flag and waitqueue_active() before invoking wake_up_bit().

Considering clear_bit_unlock() before wake_up_bit() is an atomic
operation, use smp_mb__after_atomic() instead of smp_mb() to provide
such guarantee.
