Subject: Fwd: [patch 2/3] Directed yield: direct yield of spinlocks for powerpc.
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 14:21:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060918122136.GE3290@skybase> (raw)
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
[patch 2/3] Directed yield: direct yield of spinlocks for powerpc.
In order to implement a spinlock that yields the cpu in favour of
the current lock holder cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and
read/write locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax, _raw_read_relax
and _raw_write_relax primitives have an additional argument: the
pointer to the lock structure.
