[RFC PATCH-tip v4 01/10] locking/osq: Make lock/unlock proper acquire/release barrier

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The osq_lock() and osq_unlock() function may not provide the necessary
acquire and release barrier in some cases. This patch makes sure
that the proper barriers are provided when osq_lock() is successful
or when osq_unlock() is called.
