Subject: [PATCH locking 0/4] locktorture and memory-barriers.txt updates
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 10:20:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160426172041.GA4539@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello!

This series contains a few memory-barriers.txt updates and a locktorture
cleanup:

1.	Add a disclaimer to memory-barrier.txt, courtesy of
	Peter Zijlstra.

2.	Explicitly state the purpose of memory-barrier.txt, courtesy
	of David Howells.

3.	Explicitly state that ACQUIRE applies to loads and that
	RELEASE applies to stores, courtesy of Will Deacon.

4.	Simplify torture_runnable computation in locktorture, replacing
	a multiline #ifdef with an IS_ENABLED() that fits into an
	existing line.

							Thanx, Paul
