Subject[PATCH 0/2] locking/spinlock_debug: Change it to a mostly fair lock
Date
The current debug spinlock implementation is a TATAS unfair lock. This
can occasionally lead to system lockup with a debug kernel because
of the unfairness of the lock rather than inherent locking problem.

This patch set changes the debug spinlock implementation to a
mostly fair spinlock based on the MCS lock similar to what is done
in qspinlock.

locking/spinlock_debug: Reduce lockup suspected message clutter
locking/spinlock_debug: Reduce lock cacheline contention
