Just for context. Building on this patchset, is it now time to phase out smp_(rw)mb in favour or C11's acq/rel, as you laid out in your KVM Forum talk [*]? What is the plan with smp_mb_(sg)et? It's not clear to me from the slides, but given patch 5 I don't see a reason to keep them. Thanks, Emilio [*] http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/kvmforum16-atomic2.pdf
