linux.git/kernel/locking/qspinlock.h, branch v6.18.21 Clone of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git locking: Move common qspinlock helpers to a private header 2025-03-19T15:02:29+00:00 Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi memxor@gmail.com 2025-03-16T04:05:18+00:00 ac08f68f1fe32326fbe60a02f9ff5f6749a35ab8 Move qspinlock helper functions that encode, decode tail word, set and clear the pending and locked bits, and other miscellaneous definitions and macros to a private header. To this end, create a qspinlock.h header file in kernel/locking. Subsequent commits will introduce a modified qspinlock slow path function, thus moving shared code to a private header will help minimize unnecessary code duplication.
