opening for write performs:
if (f->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) {
[snip]
smp_mb();
if (filemap_nr_thps(inode->i_mapping)) {
[snip]
}
}
filemap_nr_thps on kernels built without CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR
expands to 0, allowing the compiler to eliminate the entire thing, with
exception of the fence (and the branch leading there).
So happens required synchronisation between i_writecount and nr_thps
changes is already provided by the full fence coming from
get_write_access -> atomic_inc_unless_negative, thus the smp_mb instance
above can be removed regardless of CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR.
While I updated commentary in places claiming to match the now-removed
fence, I did not try to patch them to act on the compile option.
I did not bother benchmarking it, not issuing a spurious full fence in
the fast path does not warrant justification from perf standpoint.
