This is actually one of my main concerns ;-) as, IIUC, those barriers are not only sufficient but also necessary: anything "less than a full barrier" (in either wake_up_process() or set_current_state()) would _not_ guarantee the "condition" above unless I'm misunderstanding it. But am I misunderstanding it? Which barriers/guarantee do you _need_ from the above mentioned pairing? (hence my comment...)
