Subject[PATCH -tip 0/3] locking/rtmutex: Another crack at spin on owner
Date
Hi,

This is a (painfully late) followup to proposal sometime ago to add
spin on owner to rtmutexes. My first attempt was rather liberal in that
I tried avoiding the pi-dance and let the lock be stolen. However, due to
-rt constraints this series only deals with top-waiter, based on what we
do in the preempt rt patchset.

First two patches are trivial and the whole patchset as survived a week
of locktorture+pi_stress pounding at the same time without anything
breaking. That said, I'm sure it needs more testing and eyeballs, these
paths make my head hurt.

Thanks!

rtmutex: Delete save_state member of struct rt_mutex
rtmutex: Add rt_mutex_init_waiter helper
rtmutex: Reduce top-waiter blocking on a lock
