[PATCH net-next 3/3] sock: optimise sock_def_write_space barriers

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Thu Apr 28 2022 - 07:00:04 EST


Now we have a separate path for sock_def_write_space() and can go one
step further. When it's called from sock_wfree() we know that there is a
preceding atomic for putting down ->sk_wmem_alloc. We can use it to
replace to replace smb_mb() with a less expensive
smp_mb__after_atomic(). It also removes an extra RCU read lock/unlock as
a small bonus.
