From 307bf9803f25a8a3f53c1012110fb74e2f893eb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:08:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Simplify mutex_spin_on_owner() It does not make sense to rcu_read_lock/unlock() in every loop iteration while spinning on the mutex. Move the rcu protection outside the loop. Also simplify the return path to always check for lock->owner == NULL which meets the requirements of both owner changed and need_resched() caused loop exits.
