The function netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() in fs/netfs/direct_write.c contains an unnecessary smp_rmb() call after wait_on_bit(). Since wait_on_bit() already incorporates a memory barrier that ensures the flag update is visible before the function returns, the smp_rmb() provides no additional benefit and incurs unnecessary overhead. This patch removes the redundant barrier to simplify and optimize the code.

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.
