Subject[PATCH 0/2] Fix boot regression for s390 and remove break_lock
Date
Hi all,

The following two patches do the following:

1. Fix boot breakage reported on s390 caused by a8a217c22116
2. Kill off the break_lock field entirely, since it's not actually
that useful

I didn't go the whole hog and remove CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, since the
"do something different with locks in preemptible kernels" isn't necessarily
a bad idea, and PowerPC actually implements things like arch_spin_relax
for that.

The first patch should go in to 4.15.

Thanks,

Will
