[PATCH] locking/qspinlock: Fix inaccessible URL of MCS lock paper

From: Waiman Long
Date: Sun Dec 22 2019 - 21:26:02 EST


It turns out that the URL of the MCS lock paper listed in the source
code is no longer accessible. I did got question about where the paper
was. This patch updates the URL to one that is still accessible.
