34 /*
35  * The basic principle of a queue-based spinlock can best be understood
36  * by studying a classic queue-based spinlock implementation called the
37  * MCS lock. The paper below provides a good description for this kind
38  * of lock.
39  *
40  * http://www.cise.ufl.edu/tr/DOC/REP-1992-71.pdf
41  *
42  * This queued spinlock implementation is based on the MCS lock, however to make
43  * it fit the 4 bytes we assume spinlock_t to be, and preserve its existing
44  * API, we must modify it somehow.
45  *
46  * In particular; where the traditional MCS lock consists of a tail pointer
47  * (8 bytes) and needs the next pointer (another 8 bytes) of its own node to
48  * unlock the next pending (next->locked), we compress both these: {tail,
49  * next->locked} into a single u32 value.
50  *
51  * Since a spinlock disables recursion of its own context and there is a limit
52  * to the contexts that can nest; namely: task, softirq, hardirq, nmi. As there
53  * are at most 4 nesting levels, it can be encoded by a 2-bit number. Now
54  * we can encode the tail by combining the 2-bit nesting level with the cpu
55  * number. With one byte for the lock value and 3 bytes for the tail, only a
56  * 32-bit word is now needed. Even though we only need 1 bit for the lock,
57  * we extend it to a full byte to achieve better performance for architectures
58  * that support atomic byte write.
59  *
60  * We also change the first spinner to spin on the lock bit instead of its
61  * node; whereby avoiding the need to carry a node from lock to unlock, and
62  * preserving existing lock API. This also makes the unlock code simpler and
63  * faster.
64  *
65  * N.B. The current implementation only supports architectures that allow
66  *      atomic operations on smaller 8-bit and 16-bit data types.
