[PATCH 5/7] fsnotify: use a mutex instead of a spinlock to protect a groups mark list

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

 



Replaces the groups mark_lock spinlock with a mutex. Using a mutex instead
of a spinlock results in more flexibility (i.e it allows to sleep while the
lock is held).
