Absolutely. But smp_store_release (without __) will not. Please note I did test this: for ppc code before and after this patch generates exactly the same binary on SMP and UP. > Another thing is that smp_lwsync() may have a third user(other than > smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()): > > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.ppc.embedded/89877 > > I'm OK to change my patch accordingly, but do we really want > smp_lwsync() get involved in this cleanup?

I can duplicate some code and have smp_lwsync *not* call __smp_lwsync but why do this?

It isn't because as far as I could tell it is not used outside arch/powerpc/include/asm/barrier.h smp_store_release and smp_load_acquire. And these are now gone. Instead there are __smp_store_release and __smp_load_acquire which call __smp_lwsync. These are only used for virt and on SMP. UP variants are generic - they just call barrier(). > > > > This reduces the amount of arch-specific boiler-plate code. > > > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Michael S.
