The key thing to\nkeep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally\nexecute RCU read-side critical sections.\n\nThe memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical\nsections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus\nmust come -before- this increment. And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz().\n\nThe locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment.\n\nAlso, switch to smp_mb() - we don\u0027t need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.
