[PATCH] _raw_read_trylock for alpha

From: Jeff Garzik
Date: Sat Mar 19 2005 - 15:41:04 EST



alpha SMP doesn't build, due to lack of _raw_read_trylock().

Patch below completely untested... needs review and testing.

One could also use the arch-neutral generic_raw_read_trylock(),
but that implementation is rather lame (it spins). I'm amazed at the
number of arches that use the generic implementation, since the generic
version isn't really a "trylock".

Don't send this patch upstream until its been verified to actually work.
