Omar Sandoval 4ace53f1ed sbitmap: use test_and_set_bit_lock()/clear_bit_unlock()
sbitmap_queue_get()/sbitmap_queue_clear() are used for
allocating/freeing a resource, so they should provide acquire/release
barrier semantics, respectively. sbitmap_get() currently contains a full
barrier, which is unnecessary, so use test_and_set_bit_lock() instead of
test_and_set_bit() (these are equivalent on x86_64). sbitmap_clear_bit()
does not imply any barriers, which is incorrect, as accesses of the
resource (e.g., request) could potentially get reordered to after the
clear_bit(). Introduce sbitmap_clear_bit_unlock() and use it for
sbitmap_queue_clear() (this only adds a compiler barrier on x86_64). The
other existing user of sbitmap_clear_bit() (the blk-mq software queue
pending map) is serialized through a spinlock and does not need this.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
