[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/8] tcg: Clarify thread safety check in tb_add_j


From: sergey . fedorov
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/8] tcg: Clarify thread safety check in tb_add_jump()
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 00:56:44 +0300

From: Sergey Fedorov <address@hidden>

The check is to make sure that another thread hasn't already done the
same while we were outside of tb_lock. Mention this in a comment.
