| 2025-04-22 | tools/memory-model: docs/README: Update introduction of locking.txt | Akira Yokosawa | |
| Commit 9bc931e9e161 ("tools/memory-model: Add locking.txt and glossary.txt to README") failed to mention the relation of the "Locking" section in recipes.txt and locking.txt. The latter is a detailed version of the former intended to be read on its own. Reword the description in README and add notes in locking.txt and recipes.txt to clarify their relationship.

| 2023-03-24 | tools/memory-model: Document locking corner cases | Paul E. McKenney | |
| Most Linux-kernel uses of locking are straightforward, but there are corner-case uses that rely on less well-known aspects of the lock and unlock primitives. This commit therefore adds a locking.txt and litmus tests in Documentation/litmus-tests/locking to explain these corner-case uses.
