async: update documentation of the memory barriers
|
|
|
|
Ever since commit 8c6b0356b539 ("util/async: make bh_aio_poll() O(1)",
|
|
2020-02-22), synchronization between qemu_bh_schedule() and aio_bh_poll()
|
|
is happening when the bottom half is enqueued in the bh_list; not
|
|
when the flags are set. Update the documentation to match.
