Subject: [PATCH tools/memory-model 0/4] Documentation updates and fixes
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 09:26:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180307172627.GA15805@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
This patch series adds some documentation and fixes to the Linux-kernel
memory model (LKMM):
1. Add more text to meomry-barrier.txt to de-emphasize
smp_read_barrier_depends().
2. Remove mention of the now-obsolete docker and gentoo images
from README.
3. Add documentation for the new ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce
litmus test.
4. Update the removal of rb-dep, smp_read_barrier_depends(), and
lockless_dereference() to reflect feedback.
Thanx, Paul
