Subject: [PATCH -tip v2 0/6] locking: Various updates
Hello,
A little bit of everything really, with the last two patches being
the most interesting ones.
Patches 1-3 cleanup a bit of ww mutex code.
Patch 4 isolates osq code.
Patch 5 uses the brand new READ/ASSIGN_ONCE primitives.
Patch 6 is a performance patch and gets rid of barrier calls when
polling for the (osq) lock.
More details obviously in the individual patches. Applies on today's -tip.
Please consider for 3.20, thanks!
Changes since v1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/28/22):
o drop patch 1 (pickd up by paulmck)
o drop patch 2 (no can do, thanks a lot gcc)
o improve changelogs.
