From 3c7151275c0c9a80c3375f9874b1c7129a105eea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "jbaron@akamai.com" Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:05:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: add memory barriers to write space paths Ensure that we either see that the buffer has write space in tcp_poll() or that we perform a wakeup from the input side. Did not run into any actual problem here, but thought that we should make things explicit. Signed-off-by: Jason Baron Signed-off-by: David S.
