[PATCH v3 00/14] kernel/locking: qspinlock improvements

From: Will Deacon
Date: Thu Apr 26 2018 - 06:34:54 EST


Hi all,

This is version three of the qspinlock patches I posted previously:

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/5/496
v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/11/618

Changes since v2 include:
* Fixed bisection issues
* Fixed x86 PV build
* Added patch proposing me as a co-maintainer
* Rebased onto -rc2

All feedback welcome,

Will
