[PATCH v4 02/12] spinlock: Enable x86 architecture to do lockless refcount update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are two steps to enable each architecture to do lockless
reference count update:
1. Define the ARCH_SPINLOCK_REFCOUNT config parameter in its Kconfig
   file.
2. Add a <asm/spinlock_refcount.h> architecture specific header file.

This is done for the x86 architecture to use the generic version
available.
