wake_up_all() and wait_event_timeout() already have the correct barriers as per https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/memory-barriers.txt. This should ensure that the seqno_recv write can't be re-ordered wrt to the actual wake_up_all() i.e we get woken up but there is no write. The reader side with wait_event_timeout() also has the correct barriers. With that drop the hand rolled smp_wmb(), which is anyway missing some kind of matching barrier on the reader side.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
