I have just finished reading over this and must say that this is excellent. If I would have started reading on this topic from this doc and then move to other in-tree docs, including memory-barriers.txt, I would have had much less issues/questions and it would be much less of a bumpy read. Is there any plan to include it into official kernel doc tree? I really think it would be very helpful for others also even basically to explain the notations, properties and language people talk about these issues and give examples. I will try to improve a bit the new doc I have previously sent a patch for in the spirit of this reading. Best Regards, Elena.
