From 2affa6d6db28855e6340b060b809c23477aa546e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2023 22:33:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/smp: Remove pointless wmb()s from native_stop_other_cpus() The wmb()s before sending the IPIs are not synchronizing anything. If at all then the apic IPI functions have to provide or act as appropriate barriers. Remove these cargo cult barriers which have no explanation of what they are synchronizing.
