Ling,

The core idea of your current patch hasn't changed from your previous
patch.

My comment is that you should not attempt to sell it as a replacement
of the current spinlock mechanism. I just don't see that will happen
given the change in API semantics. Also, I think there are probably
cases that your patch cannot be applied. So treat it as a separate
synchronization mechanism that can be useful in some scenarios.

Cheers,
Longman
