[PATCH memory-model 0/3] Kernel fixes to spin_is_locked()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

This series contains fixes to the kernel related to the semantics
of spin_is_locked(), all courtesy of Andrea Parri, and all ready for
inclusion in -tip:

1.	Document the semantics of spin_is_locked() by adding a docbook
	header comment.

2.	Remove smp_mb() from arch_spin_is_locked(), given that the
	new order-free spin_is_locked() semantics require no such barrier.

3.	Clean up comment and #ifndef for {,queued_}spin_is_locked().
	The comment was "XXX think about spin_is_locked", and I can
	attest that we have now done some serious thinking.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
