Subject: futex: Fix barrier comment
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6f568ebe2afefdc33a6fb06ef20a94f8b96455f1;p=linux.git

futex: Fix barrier comment

The current comment for the barrier that guarantees that waiter increment
is always before taking the hb spinlock (barrier (A)) needs to be fixed as
it is misplaced.

This is obviously referring to hb_waiters_inc, which is a full barrier.
