[PATCH v3 5/6] pv-qspinlock: use cmpxchg_release in __pv_queued_spin_unlock

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

 



cmpxchg_release is light-wight than cmpxchg, we can gain a better
performace then. On some arch like ppc, barrier impact the performace
too much.
