[$] Lockless patterns: relaxed access and partial memory barriers
Friday February 26, 2021. 07:45 PM , from LWN.net
The first article in this series provided
an introduction to lockless algorithms and the happens before relationship that allows us to reason about them. The next step is to look at the concept of a 'data race' and the primitives that exist to prevent data races. We continue in that direction with a look at relaxed accesses, memory barriers, and how they can be used to implement the kernel's seqcount mechanism.
