From d7e8af1afeffb03ab250b91cd70ba8c701f0f2b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2014 11:55:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] futex: update documentation for ordering guarantees Commits 11d4616bd07f ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code") and 69cd9eba3886 ("futex: avoid race between requeue and wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes. One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole requeuing logic. The first change caused our documentation to be incorrect, and the second made us aware that we need to explicitly add more details to it.
