Subject: [PATCH v2] Adding smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep barrier

Changes in v2:
 - hopefully fixed all (at least to my eye and to checkpatch)
   errors on whitespacing, etc.
 - changed text on ACQUIRE guarantees pointed by Andrea and
   Dmitry
 - removed mentioning of control dependency on dec/sub_and_test
   variants

I also have to send it now with a cover letter, because I think
it is Intel mailer that malformed the patch last time for god knows
what reason...

Elena Reshetova (1):
  refcount_t: add ACQUIRE ordering on success for dec(sub)_and_test
    variants
