Hi Linus, Just making sure nothing's wrong with this pull request. If there's an issue, pls let me know!It was just pulled because I wasn't 100% sure I wanted the extra indirection. Oh well, pulled now. One question: - the arch/sh/ part of the pacth looks dubious. Why does it do that #define smp_store_mb(var, value) __smp_store_mb(var, value) despite the commit log saying it's done by asm-generic? I haven't pushed out yet, my allmodconfig sanity-check build is still going.. Linus
Oh that's because that's what the existing code did, so the original version of the patch left the bug in place. I wanted to include the fix and I wrote this in the commit message, but I forgot to include it in the code :( Thankfully this just means that the commit log is wrong, the code is just unchanged from 4.4, and I'll include a fix in my tree shortly. -- MST
