Subject: Re: [PATCH] Scheduler: Removed first parameter from
prepare_lock_switch
Peter,
I tried to understand and applied all your suggestions, follows the
modification:
Adjustments: lock/unlock task in context_switch
Function prepare_lock_switch have an unused parameter, and also the
function name was not descriptive. To improve the readability and remove
the extra parameter, the following changes were made:
* Moved prepare_lock_switch from kernel/sched/sched.h to
kernel/sched/core.c, renamed it to acquire_lock_task, and removed the
unused parameter.
* Split the smp_store_release() out from finish_lock_switch() to a
function named release_lock_task.
* Comments ajdustments.
