[PATCH v15 07/15] qspinlock: Revert to test-and-set on hypervisors

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Apr 06 2015 - 22:57:18 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When we detect a hypervisor (!paravirt, see qspinlock paravirt support
patches), revert to a simple test-and-set lock to avoid the horrors
of queue preemption.
