As we now check if the seqno is complete in order to signal the fence, we can also decide not to wake up the first_waiter until it is ready (since it is waiting on the same seqno). The only caveat is that if we need the engine->irq_seqno_barrier to enforce some coherency between an interrupt and the seqno read, we have to always wake the waiter in order to perform that heavyweight barrier.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
