Subject: [PATCH -v3 5/8] locking: Update spin_unlock_wait users
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 11:41:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160531094844.162614942@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20160531094134.606249808@infradead.org

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-locking-fix-spin_unlock_wait.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1434 bytes --]

With the modified semantics of spin_unlock_wait() a number of
explicit barriers can be removed. And update the comment for the
do_exit() usecase, as that was somewhat stale/obscure.
