I agree it's not pretty.
I just didn't think having it out-of-line made it easier to understand. The
previous version had:
static inline void arch_spin_unlock_wait(arch_spinlock_t *lock)
{
...
if (!arch_spin_is_locked_sync(lock))
goto out;
Then elsewhere:
static inline bool arch_spin_is_locked_sync(arch_spinlock_t *lock)
{
...
return !arch_spin_value_unlocked(tmp);
}
So two negations and one routine called "locked" and one "unlocked", which just
didn't read well IMHO.
Another minor concern was that someone might be "clever" and call the _sync()
version manually (though hopefully we'd catch that in review).
I'm not beholden to v3 though if you hate it.
cheers
