Hi All, this is the fairlock patchset. You can apply them and build successfully. patches are based on linux-next qspinlock can avoid waiter starved issue. It has about the same speed in single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to...

...d way. I prefer to put it in pseries/Kconfig as same as pv-qspinlocks config. when we build nv, it still include pSeries's config anyway. thanks xinhui > Regards, > Boqun > >> + help >> + Enabling this option will let kernel use qspinlock which is a kind of >> + fairlock.

This patch add basic code to enable qspinlock on powerpc. qspinlock is one kind of fairlock implementation. And seen some performance improvement under some scenarios. queued_spin_unlock() release the lock by just one write of NULL to the ::locked field which sits at different places in the two endianness system. We override some arch_spin_XXX as powerpc has io_sync stuff which makes su...
