I was worrying about any of the INLINE_*_LOCK* config being turned on.
It turns out that setting GENERIC_LOCKBREAK will not allow those locking
functions to be inlined. So my concern is not warranted.
With that, I think your patch should be safe.
Acked-by: Waiman Long <longman@...hat.com>
It will be nice if you can document that either in the change log or in
a comment.
Still the lock-break lock variants are simple TaS locks with preemption
turned on in between successive attempts to acquire the lock. It will be
slow and is only suitable for system with small number of cores. The
long term goal should be to get rid of these variants and
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK if possible.
