From 719d1cd86780c156f954fc34f34481adac197aec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 15:17:02 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] ppc64: Replace custom locking code with a spinlock The hvlpevent_queue (formally ItLpQueue) has a member called xInUseWord which is used for serialising access to the queue. Because it's a word (ie. 32 bit) there's a custom 32-bit version of test_and_set_bit() or thereabouts in ItLpQueue.c. The xInUseWord is not shared with they hypervisor, so we can replace it with a spinlock and remove the custom code. There is also another locking mechanism (ItLpQueueInProcess). This is redundant because it's only manipulated while the lock's held. Remove it.
