rcu: Fix and comment ordering around wait_event() It is all too easy to forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a full memory barrier. The case where it does not is where the condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution. This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event() returns). Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case. This commit also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers relied on by wait_event() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
