[PATCH memory-model 15/19] tools/memory-model: Remove out-of-date comments and code from lock.cat

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon May 14 2018 - 19:34:31 EST


From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

lock.cat contains old comments and code referring to the possibility
of LKR events that are not part of an RMW pair. This is a holdover
from when I though we might end up using LKR events to implement
spin_is_locked(). Reword the comments to remove this assumption and
replace domain(lk-rmw) in the code with LKR.
