Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/4] documentation: Add acquire/release barriers to pairing rules
Date: Mon,  7 Jul 2014 15:24:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1404771862-6904-3-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1404771862-6904-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

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

It is possible to pair acquire and release barriers with other barriers,
so this commit adds them to the list in the SMP barrier pairing section.

 When dealing with CPU-CPU interactions, certain types of memory barrier should
 always be paired.  A lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an error.
 
-A write barrier should always be paired with a data dependency barrier or read
-barrier, though a general barrier would also be viable.  Similarly a read
-barrier or a data dependency barrier should always be paired with at least an
-write barrier, though, again, a general barrier is viable:
+A write barrier should always be paired with a data dependency barrier,

+dependency barrier should always be paired with at least a write barrier,
