Subject: [PATCH memory-barriers.txt 7/7] Documentation,barriers: Mention smp_cond_acquire()
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 08:52:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460476375-27803-7-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160412155228.GA27257@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>

      This acts as a one-way permeable barrier.  It guarantees that all memory
      operations after the ACQUIRE operation will appear to happen after the
      ACQUIRE operation with respect to the other components of the system.
-     ACQUIRE operations include LOCK operations and smp_load_acquire()
-     operations.
+     ACQUIRE operations include LOCK operations and both smp_load_acquire()

      Memory operations that occur before an ACQUIRE operation may appear to
      happen after it completes.
