3.6.11.7-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Wang [ Upstream commit 35848f68b07df3f917cb13fc3c134718669f569b ] Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for UP guest. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Cc: Haiyang Zhang Cc: stable Signed-off-by: K. Y.
