Subject: [PATCH v2 memory-model 0/3] LKMM updates for v6.10

Hello!

This series contains LKMM documentation updates:

1.	Documentation/litmus-tests: Add locking tests to README.

2.	Documentation/litmus-tests: Demonstrate unordered failing cmpxchg.

3.	Documentation/atomic_t: Emphasize that failed atomic operations
	give no ordering.

4.	Documentation/litmus-tests: Make cmpxchg() tests safe for klitmus.

Changes since V1:

o	Apply formatting feedback from Andrea Parri

o	Add patch 4 that makes tests safe for klitmus, also based on
	feedback from Andrea Parri.

						Thanx, Paul
