It guarantees that all memory operations after the ACQUIRE operation will appear to happen after the ACQUIRE operation with respect to the other components of the system. - ACQUIRE operations include LOCK operations and smp_load_acquire() - operations. + ACQUIRE operations include LOCK operations and both smp_load_acquire() + and smp_cond_acquire() operations. The later builds the necessary ACQUIRE + semantics from relying on a control dependency and smp_rmb(). Memory operations that occur before an ACQUIRE operation may appear to happen after it completes. |
