From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 36e7fdaa1a04fcf65b864232e1af56a51c7814d6 upstream. commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc (locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures) fenced spinning for architectures without proper cmpxchg. There is no need to disable mutex spinning on s390, though: The instructions CS,CSG and friends provide the proper guarantees. (We dont implement cmpxchg with locks).
