set_task_comm: kill the pointless memset() + wmb() set_task_comm() does memset() + wmb() before strlcpy(). This buys nothing and to add to the confusion, the comment is wrong. - We do not need memset() to be "safe from non-terminating string reads", the final char is always zero and we never change it. - wmb() is paired with nothing, it cannot prevent from printing the mixture of the old/new data unless the reader takes the lock.
