Subject: [PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 04/10] sched: Replace spin_unlock_wait() with lock/unlock pair
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2017 15:58:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1501541897-5225-4-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170731225754.GB2674@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair. This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in
do_task_dead() with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock().
This should be safe from a performance perspective because the lock is
this tasks ->pi_lock, and this is called only after the task exits.
