Subject[PATCH 3.12 040/142] s390/locking: Reenable optimistic spinning
Date
From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

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).
