Here''s my case: Using a link_to popup window to show a related help file of an element on a page. The problem: Window pops up perfectly, but refuses to carryover @instance variables in the controller that I referenced in the link_to command. The tests: - I have the right controller/class, because it renders a specific template, which is what it does. - I have the right template/view,

v3 is updated to use __pv_queued_spin_unlock, noticed by Waiman (thank you). Thanks, Nick Nicholas Piggin (6): powerpc/powernv: must include hvcall.h to get PAPR defines powerpc/pseries: move some PAPR paravirt functions to their own file powerpc: move spinlock implementation to simple_spinlock powerpc/64s: implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks powerpc/pseries: implement paravirt

change from v2: __spin_yeild_cpu() will yield slices to lpar if target cpu is running. remove unnecessary rmb() in __spin_yield/wake_cpu. __pv_wait() will check the *ptr == val. some commit message change change fome v1: separate into 6 pathes from one patch some minor code changes.

Updated with everybody's feedback (thanks all), and more performance results. What I've found is I might have been measuring the worst load point for the paravirt case, and by looking at a range of loads it's clear that queued spinlocks are overall better even on PV, doubly so when you look at the generally much improved worst case latencies. I have defaulted it to N even though
