[PATCH 5.14 001/334] locking/mutex: Fix HANDOFF condition
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 13 2021 - 10:20:47 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.
