From 93b465c2e186d96fb90012ba0f9372eb9952e732 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juan Gutierrez Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 09:30:16 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] hwspinlock/core: use a mutex to protect the radix tree Since we're using non-atomic radix tree allocations, we should be protecting the tree using a mutex and not a spinlock. Non-atomic allocations and process context locking is good enough, as the tree is manipulated only when locks are registered/ unregistered/requested/freed. The locks themselves are still protected by spinlocks of course, and mutexes are not involved in the locking/unlocking paths.
