*	Documentation/locking/atomic: Finish the document...	Peter Zijlstra	2017-08-25	1	-0/+42
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Julia reported that the document looked unfinished, and it is. I forgot to include the example cooked up by Paul here: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170731174345.GL3730@linux.vnet.ibm.com and I added an explicit example showing how, while it is an ACQUIRE pattern, it really does provide an MB.

*	Documentation/locking/atomic: Add documents for new atomic_t APIs	Peter Zijlstra	2017-08-10	1	-0/+200
	Since we've vastly expanded the atomic_t interface in recent years the existing documentation is woefully out of date and people seem to get confused a bit. Start a new document to hopefully better explain the current state of affairs. The old atomic_ops.txt also covers bitmaps and a few more details so this is not a full replacement and we'll therefore keep that document around until such a time that we've managed to write more text to cover its entire. Also please, ReST people, go away.
