From 7455ff1aa01564cc175db5b2373e610503ad4411 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 13:30:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] aio_wait_kick: add missing memory barrier It seems that aio_wait_kick always required a memory barrier or atomic operation in the caller, but nobody actually took care of doing it. Let's put the barrier in the function instead, and pair it with another one in AIO_WAIT_WHILE. Read aio_wait_kick() comment for further explanation.
