[PATCH 3.16 028/114] s390/spinlock: avoid yield to non existent cpu

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Jun 13 2016 - 14:44:29 EST


3.16.36-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8497695243f70fd19ed6cf28b63584f1b608b5f9 upstream.

arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() checks if a spinlock is not held before
trying a compare and swap instruction. If the lock is unlocked it
tries the compare and swap instruction, however if a different cpu
grabbed the lock in the meantime the instruction will fail as
expected.

Subsequently the arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() incorrectly tries to
figure out if the cpu that holds the lock is running. However it is
using the wrong cpu number for this (-1) and then will also yield the
current cpu to the wrong cpu.

Fix this by adding a missing continue statement.
