Hi All: Now I am reading binder code, buffer = proc->buffer; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&proc->buffers); list_add(&buffer->entry, &proc->buffers); buffer->free = 1; binder_insert_free_buffer(proc, buffer); proc->free_async_space = proc->buffer_size / 2; barrier(); proc->files = get_files_struct(current); proc->vma = vma; proc->vma_vm_mm = vma->vm_mm;
why use barrier in here? According the kernel/Documentation/memory-barriers.txt barrier is an explicit compiler barrier function that prevents the compiler from moving the memory accesses either side of it to the other side: if no barrier here, which code will have issue in here?
