Herbert Xu 32707c4dfa inet: frags: Remove unnecessary smp_store_release/READ_ONCE
The smp_store_release call in fqdir_exit cannot protect the setting
of fqdir->dead as claimed because its memory barrier is only
guaranteed to be one-way and the barrier precedes the setting of
fqdir->dead.

IOW it doesn't provide any barriers between fq->dir and the following
hash table destruction.

In fact, the code is safe anyway because call_rcu does provide both
the memory barrier as well as a guarantee that when the destruction
work starts executing all RCU readers will see the updated value for
fqdir->dead.

Therefore this patch removes the unnecessary smp_store_release call
as well as the corresponding READ_ONCE on the read-side in order to
not confuse future readers of this code.  Comments have been added
in their places.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
