[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.13 01/46] locking/mutex: Fix HANDOFF condition

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun Sep 05 2021 - 21:22:55 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 048661a1f963e9517630f080687d48af79ed784c ]

Yanfei reported that setting HANDOFF should not depend on recomputing
@first, only on @first state. Which would then give:

if (ww_ctx || !first)
first = __mutex_waiter_is_first(lock, &waiter);
if (first)
__mutex_set_flag(lock, MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF);

But because 'ww_ctx || !first' is basically 'always' and the test for
first is relatively cheap, omit that first branch entirely.
