    drivers/infiniband: Remove now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends() · adf90eb4
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    
    
    The smp_read_barrier_depends() does nothing at all except on DEC Alpha,
    and no current DEC Alpha systems use Infiniband:
    
    	lkml.kernel.org/r/20171023085921.jwbntptn6ictbnvj@tower
    
    This commit therefore makes Infiniband depend on !ALPHA and removes
    the now-ineffective invocations of smp_read_barrier_depends() from
    the InfiniBand driver.
    
    Please note that this patch should not be construed as my saying that
    InfiniBand's memory ordering is correct, but rather that this patch does
    not in any way affect InfiniBand's correctness.  In other words, the
    result of applying this patch is bug-for-bug compatible with the original.
