[RFC PATCH-tip v2 1/6] locking/osq: Make lock/unlock proper acquire/release barrier

From: Waiman Long <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-14 22:48:35
Also in: linux-arch, linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: locking primitives, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Will Deacon, Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds

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.
