You have agreed to fix this comment, but it seems you have forgot

Below comment doesn't seem to be adressed?

Below point is yet to be resolved.

Won't it cause any problem if the last owner process exits?
Can you explain how pg_read_barrier() in below code makes this
access safe?
LWLockWakeup()
{
..
+ pg_read_barrier(); /* pairs with nwaiters-- */
+ if (!BOOL_ACCESS_ONCE(lock->releaseOK))
..
}
