mm: numa: guarantee that tlb_flush_pending updates are visible before page table updates
commit af2c1401 upstream. According to documentation on barriers, stores issued before a LOCK can complete after the lock implying that it's possible tlb_flush_pending can be visible after a page table update. As per revised documentation, this patch adds a smp_mb__before_spinlock to guarantee the correct ordering. Signed-off-by:Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by:
