Subject: [PATCH RFC 11/26] arm: Remove spin_unlock_wait() arch-specific definitions
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 17:01:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1498780894-8253-11-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170629235918.GA6445@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair.  This commit therefore removes the underlying arch-specific
arch_spin_unlock_wait().
