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()
+ and smp_cond_acquire() operations. The later builds the necessary ACQUIRE

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