Subject: Re: Internal vs. external barriers (was: Re: Interesting LKMM litmus
test)
I just realized I made a mistake in my earlier response to this message;
you still need the rf for passing the cookie across threads.
Perhaps it's better to just also exclude srcu_unlock type events
explicitly here.
+let srcu-rscs = ([Srcu-lock] ; (data ; [~ Srcu-unlock] ; rf) + ;
[Srcu-unlock]) & loc
best wishes,
