- Add patch 2 to optimize __down_read_trylock() as suggested by PeterZ.
- Update performance test data in patch 1.
The goal of this patchset is to remove the architecture specific files
for rwsem-xadd to make it easer to add enhancements in the later rwsem
patches. It also removes the legacy rwsem-spinlock.c file and make all
the architectures use one single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c.
Waiman Long (3):
locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files
locking/rwsem: Remove rwsem-spinlock.c & use rwsem-xadd.c for all
archs
locking/rwsem: Optimize down_read_trylock()
Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
with the caveat that I'm happy to exchange patch 3 back to my earlier
suggestion in case Will expesses concerns wrt the ARM64 performance of
Linus' suggestion.
