Hi all,
This patch series gently massages the qrwlock code so as to make it
usable on arm64 as a replacement for our current implementation. The
last two patches actually do the arch conversion and are included here
for reference.
Most of the work is removing redundant memory barriers from the current
implementation and adding hooks to the contended paths to allow us to
avoid busy-waiting.
Implemented on top of -tip (i.e. the patches queued there from Waiman),
but this is likely to conflict with his latest series.
All feedback welcome,
Will
