If there is a bug, _removing_ barriers isn't going to solve it. Or do I misunderstand the situation? (I agree that the barriers may be unnecessary, but I don't see how it helps with the test failures.)
of course, it is completely unrelated to the test failures, i was just surprised to see these barriers ...
There's nothing surprising in having compiler barriers before release operations and after acquire operations.
