- * long enough to read maxMsgNum, while writers take it for just long enough
- * to write maxMsgNum.  (The exact rule is that you need the spinlock to
- * read maxMsgNum if you are not holding SInvalWriteLock, and you need the
- * spinlock to write maxMsgNum unless you are holding both locks.)
- *
- * Note: since maxMsgNum is an int and hence presumably atomically readable/
- * writable, the spinlock might seem unnecessary.  The reason it is needed
- * is to provide a memory barrier: we need to be sure that messages written
- * to the array are actually there before maxMsgNum is increased, and that
- * readers will see that data after fetching maxMsgNum.  Multiprocessors
- * that have weak memory-ordering guarantees can fail without the memory
- * barrier instructions that are included in the spinlock sequences.
+ * We deal with that by making maxMsgNum an atomic variable.  (The exact rule
+ * is that you need to use a barrier-providing accessor to read maxMsgNum if
+ * you are not holding SInvalWriteLock, and you need a barrier-providing
+ * accessor to write maxMsgNum unless you are holding both locks.)
