If you want to load two doublewords, block concurrency guarantees each 
(aligned) doubleword is consistent, but if task 2 is in process of updating 
both doublewords, using (for example) LMG may result in you loading one 
doubleword from before task 2's change and one after.

        Shouldn’t that be:Protection for readers is only necessary when the 
storage in question doesn’t cross a doubleword boundary?

For quadwords, you can use either LPQ or PLO function 3 (CLX).

Yes, your illustration is exactly what I was concerned about. My instinct was 
CS was just about updaters of storage, and not readers, so there must be some 
other type of protection for readers.

Thanks, Joe
