+ * This is a very specific barrier: it's currently only used in two places in
+ * the kernel, both in the scheduler. See include/linux/spinlock.h for the two
+ * orderings it guarantees, but the "critical section is RCsc" guarantee
+ * mandates a barrier on RISC-V. The sequence looks like:
+ *
+ * lr.aq lock
+ * sc lock <= LOCKED
+ * smp_mb__after_spinlock()
+ * // critical section
+ * lr lock
+ * sc.rl lock <= UNLOCKED
+ *
+ * The AQ/RL pair provides a RCpc critical section, but there's not really any
+ * way we can take advantage of that here because the ordering is only enforced
+ * on that one lock. Thus, we're just doing a full fence.
