Subject: [PATCH] kernel/futex: Fix barrier comment
Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2019 10:56:02 -0800
Message-ID: <20190206185602.949-1-dave@stgolabs.net> (raw)
The current comment for the barrier that guarantees that waiter
increment is always before taking the hb spinlock (barrier (A))
needs to be fixed. We are obviously referring to hb_waiters_inc,
which is a full barrier.
