41 * Note: The po-unlock-lock-po relation only passes the lock to the direct

43 * smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() fence only affects a single lock handover.
44 * However, in a longer sequence of lock handovers, the implicit
45 * A-cumulative release fences of lock-release ensure that any stores that
46 * propagate to one of the involved CPUs before it hands over the lock to
47 * the next CPU will also propagate to the final CPU handing over the lock
48 * to the CPU that executes the fence. Therefore, all those stores are
49 * also affected by the fence.
