+ * The smp_load_acquire guarantees two things:
+ *
+ * 1/ that fl_blocked_requests can be tested locklessly. If something

+ *
+ * 2/ that no other thread is accessing 'waiter', so it is safe to free
+ * it. __locks_wake_up_blocks is careful not to touch waiter after
+ * fl_blocker is released.
+ *
+ * If a lockless check of fl_blocker shows it to be NULL, we know that
+ * no new locks can be inserted into its fl_blocked_requests list, and
