[PATCH [RT] 04/14] disable PREEMPT_SPINLOCK_WAITERS when x86 ticket/fifo spins are in use

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

 



Preemptible spinlock waiters effectively bypasses the benefits of a fifo
spinlock.  Since we now have fifo spinlocks for x86 enabled, disable the
preemption feature on x86.
