Subject: [PATCH tip/core/locking 2/4] Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: Add long atomic examples to memory-barriers.txt
Date: Wed,  4 Dec 2013 14:46:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386197219-31964-2-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1386197219-31964-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Although the atomic_long_t functions are quite useful, they are a bit
obscure.  This commit therefore adds the common ones alongside their
atomic_t counterparts in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt.

 These are used for such things as implementing LOCK-class and UNLOCK-class
 operations and adjusting reference counters towards object destruction, and as
 such the implicit memory barrier effects are necessary.
