From 20e260b6f4f717c100620122f626a2c06a4cfd72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:47:38 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7632/1: spinlock: avoid exclusive accesses on unlock() path When unlocking a spinlock, all we need to do is increment the owner field of the lock. Since only one CPU can be performing an unlock() operation for a given lock, this doesn't need to be exclusive. This patch simplifies arch_spin_unlock to use non-exclusive accesses when updating the owner field of the lock.
