David Howells 670bd95e04 [PATCH] Further alterations for memory barrier document From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan Stern. The following changes were made: () One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory barriers was wrong. () The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both. () The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the opposite order to the stores around the write barrier. () Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to the stores. () Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences" section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier. () Added a section on memory speculation. () Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be worthy of further documentation later. () Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.
