+There are two special bitops with lock barrier semantics (acquire/release,
+same as spinlocks). These operate in the same way as their non-_lock/unlock
+postfixed variants, except that they are to provide acquire/release semantics,
+respectively. This means they can be used for bit_spin_trylock and

+The __clear_bit_unlock version is non-atomic, however it still implements

+
Finally, there are non-atomic versions of the bitmask operations
provided. They are used in contexts where some other higher-level SMP
locking scheme is being used to protect the bitmask, and thus less

do need memory barriers as a lock primitive generally has to do things in a

Basically, each usage case has to be carefully considered as to whether memory
barriers are needed or not.
+The following operations are special locking primitives:
+
+ test_and_set_bit_lock();
+ clear_bit_unlock();
+ __clear_bit_unlock();
+
+These implement LOCK-class and UNLOCK-class operations. These should be used in
+preference to other operations when implementing locking primitives, because
+their implementations can be optimised on many architectures.
+
[!] Note that special memory barrier primitives are available for these
situations because on some CPUs the atomic instructions used imply full memory
barriers, and so barrier instructions are superfluous in conjunction with them,
