As my understanding, there is a dependency between calling kzalloc() and
assigning the address(returned from kzalloc()) to vg->vlan_devices_arrays,
CPU and compiler can see the dependency, why can't it handling the
dependency before adding the smp_wmb()?
See CONTROL DEPENDENCIES section in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt:
However, stores are not speculated. This means that ordering -is- provided
for load-store control dependencies, as in the following example:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q) {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
}
