Subject: [PATCH] x86/kvm: virt_xxx memory barriers instead of mandatory barriers
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 02:49:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1491904161-4099-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> (raw)

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

virt_xxx memory barriers are implemented trivially using the low-level 
__smp_xxx macros, __smp_xxx is equal to a compiler barrier for strong 
TSO memory model, however, mandatory barriers will unconditional add 
memory barriers, this patch replaces the rmb() in kvm_steal_clock() by 
virt_rmb().
