Btw. I could do this as a flag to MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY instead of a
separate command. Would that be preferable?
I do not think that would be better, no. We can keep it with
GET_REGISTRATIONS.

What is the purpose of checking for the _READY state flag as well here ?

The mask will match if either of the flags to match are set. Is that
your intent ?
Kind of, it was just the easiest to write. As explained in the cover
letter, I don't really care much about the result of this while the
process is running. And when the process is frozen, either state and
state_ready are set or none of them.
OK
+ registrations_mask |= registration_cmds[i];
+ membarrier_state &= ~states[i];
So I understand that those _READY flags are there purely for making sure
we clear the membarrier_state for validation that they have all been
checked with the following WARN_ON_ONCE(). Am I on the right track ?
Yes, exactly. It wastes time but I'm worried about people adding new
states and not updating this function. A suggestion on how to do this
better (especially at compile time) would be greatly appreciated.
Although it's not a fast-path, so let's keep it this way for now.

Hi Mathieu,
is there anything more you need from my side?
No, I think those patches are ok.
Thanks,
Mathieu
