Subject: [PATCH 3.15 100/109] locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures
Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2014 12:03:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140726190226.856788942@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140726190223.834037485@linuxfoundation.org>
3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream.
The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.
There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.
Opt in for known good archs.
