Subject: Re: [PATCH v11 0/4] Introducing a queue read/write lock implementation
Date: 31 Jan 2014 05:03:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140131100348.8867.qmail@science.horizon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140131092616.GC5126@laptop.programming.kicks-ass.net>
How about getting rid of that TICKET_MSB mess and doing something like:
#define TICKET_MASK 0xFFFF
static inline void ticket_spin_unlock(atomic_t *tickets)
{
u32 t = *tickets;
smp_mb__before_atomic_inc();
/* Increment the low 16 bits without affecting the upper. */
if (unlikely((~t & TICKET_MASK) == 0))
atomic_add(-(atomic_t)TICKET_MASK, tickets);
else
atomic_inc(tickets);
}
That also allows up to 2^16 waiters, up from 2^15.
(Minus one on both cases, if you want to be fussy.)
