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 be protected. v8 -> v9: mv qspinlocm config entry to

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. I do several tests on pseries IBM,8408-E8E with 32cpus, 64GB memory. benchmark test results are below. 2

change from v4: BUG FIX. thanks boqun reporting this issue. struct __qspinlock has different layout in bigendian mahcine. native_queued_spin_unlock() may write value to a wrong address. now fix it. sorry for not even doing a test on bigendian machine before!!! change from v3: a big change in [PATCH v4 4/6] pv-qspinlock: powerpc support pv-qspinlock no other patch changed. and the patch
