"enum vcpu_state" is not compatible with "u8" type for all targets,
resulting in:
error: initialization of 'u8 *' {aka 'unsigned char *'} from incompatible pointer type 'enum vcpu_state *'
for LoongArch. Correct the type of "old" variable to "u8".

Uros,
Sorry for late reply because of weekend time. This modification works
well for me.
In later I want to define pv_node::state as int type on LoongArch
because there is only int32/int64 cmpxchg is better supported on the
system, however that is another issue.

I thought about changing pv_node::state to int, but that requires
changing the pv_wait() call to use int too. That doesn't work because
pv_wait() is also used to monitor the state of the lock byte of the
qspinlock. In essence, we can't use pvqspinlock if 8-bit cmpxchg isn't
supported.
Cheers,
Longman

Hi Longman,
yes, your are right. pv_wait also monitors the state of the qspinlock
lock byte, so the parameter type about pv_wait must be u8.
LoongArch supports byte cmpxchg, only that word cmpxchg has higher
efficiency. By the draft kernel compiling test, pvqspinlock can improve
performance greatly when pCPU is shared by multiple vCPUs.
And thanks for your remaindering.

Bibo Mao
