Subject[RFC PATCH-tip/locking/core v3 01/10] locking/osq: Make lock/unlock proper acquire/release barrier
Date
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.

The change on the unlock side is more for documentation purpose than
is actually needed.
