While we could replace the smp_mb__before_spinlock() with the new smp_mb__after_spinlock(), the normal pattern is to use smp_store_release() to publish an object that is used for lockless_dereference() -- and mirrors the regular rcu_assign_pointer() / rcu_dereference() patterns.

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.
