According to bpftrace on these routines most calls result in cmpxchg, which already provides the same guarantee. In inode_maybe_inc_iversion elision is possible because even if the wrong value was read due to now missing smp_mb fence, the issue is going to correct itself after cmpxchg. If it appears cmpxchg wont be issued, the fence + reload are there bringing back previous behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
