If it does you _must_ use them, however unlikely. 2) the changelog _completely_ fails to explain the sync 0x11 and sync 0x12 semantics nor does it provide a publicly accessible link to documentation that does. 3) it really should have explained what you did with smp_llsc_mb/smp_mb__before_llsc() in _detail_. And I agree that ideally it should be split into parts. Seriously, this is _NOT_ OK. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
