This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled s390/locking: Reenable optimistic spinning to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.7. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 3a969a2719b7ed4a7432212f8fae4a70ef4dbd4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 09:57:51 +0200 Subject: s390/locking: Reenable optimistic spinning commit 36e7fdaa1a04fcf65b864232e1af56a51c7814d6 upstream. commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc (locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures) fenced spinning for architectures without proper cmpxchg. There is no need to disable mutex spinning on s390, though: The instructions CS,CSG and friends provide the proper guarantees. (We dont implement cmpxchg with locks).
