Subject: [PATCHv1 0/4] spinlock: add qrwlocks
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:09:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450447746-9305-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
This series adds the qrwlocks from Linux. These are fair; under
contention both readers and writers will be queued and obtain the lock
in FIFO order (due to the fairness of the internal ticket lock).
The implementation is all in C and thus architecture independent.
Compared to the Linux implementation some of the memory barrier
primitives were changed. The ARM maintainers may want to give this
area a careful review.
