    Documentation/atomic_t: Emphasize that failed atomic operations give no ordering · d372e204
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    The ORDERING section of Documentation/atomic_t.txt can easily be read as
    saying that conditional atomic RMW operations that fail are ordered when
    those operations have the _acquire() or _release() suffixes.  This is
    not the case, therefore update this section to make it clear that failed
    conditional atomic RMW operations provide no ordering.
