From f784e8a7989c0da3062d04bfea3db90f41e8f738 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:12:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] task_work: Simplify the usage in ptrace_notify() and get_signal_to_deliver() ptrace_notify() and get_signal_to_deliver() do unnecessary things before task_work_run(): 1. smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is not needed, test_and_clear_bit() implies mb(). 2. And we do not need the barrier at all, in this case we only care about the "synchronous" works added by the task itself. 3. No need to clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and we should not assume task_works is the only user of this flag.
