Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] perf: Replace smp_read_barrier_depends() with lockless_dereference()
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 10:06:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1416582363-20661-7-git-send-email-bobby.prani@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1416582363-20661-1-git-send-email-bobby.prani@gmail.com>
Recently lockless_dereference() was added which can be used in place of
hard-coding smp_read_barrier_depends(). The following PATCH makes the change.
