It makes sense that we add more litmus > tests for atomic APIs into memory-model. It might be worth discussing this point a little more fully. The set of tests in tools/memory-model/litmus-tests/ is deliberately rather limited. Paul has a vastly more expansive set of litmus tests in a GitHub repository, and I am doubtful about how many new tests we want to keep in the kernel source. Perhaps it makes sense to have tests corresponding to all the examples in Documentation/, perhaps not. How do people feel about this? Alan
