Linus Torvalds 88ceaf8e2c asm-generic: qspinlock: fix queued_spin_value_unlocked() implementation
[ Upstream commit 125b0bb95dd6bec81b806b997a4ccb026eeecf8f ]

We really don't want to do atomic_read() or anything like that, since we
already have the value, not the lock.  The whole point of this is that
we've loaded the lock from memory, and we want to check whether the
value we loaded was a locked one or not.

The main use of this is the lockref code, which loads both the lock and
the reference count in one atomic operation, and then works on that
combined value.  With the atomic_read(), the compiler would pointlessly
spill the value to the stack, in order to then be able to read it back
"atomically".

This is the qspinlock version of commit c6f4a9002252 ("asm-generic:
ticket-lock: Optimize arch_spin_value_unlocked()") which fixed this same
bug for ticket locks.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
