locking/Documentation: Mention smp_cond_acquire()
... do this next to smp_load_acquire() when first mentioning
ACQUIRE. While this call is briefly explained and control
dependencies are mentioned later, it does not hurt the reader.

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. |
