There is no guarantee that the various isync's involved with the context switch will order the update of the CPU mask with the first TLB entry for the new context being loaded by the HW. Be safe here and add a memory barrier to order any subsequent load/store which may bring entries into the TLB. The corresponding barrier on the other side already exists as pte updates use pte_xchg() which uses __cmpxchg_u64 which has a sync after the atomic operation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
