Subject: [PATCH 0/6] powerpc/qspinlock: Fix yield latency bug and other
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 22:42:59 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231016124305.139923-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
This fixes a long-standing latency bug in the powerpc qspinlock
implementation that quite a few people have reported and helped
out with debugging.
The first patch is a minimal fix that avoids the problem. The
other patches are streamlining and improvements after the fix.
Thanks,
Nick
