Alternatively, we could write the thing RCpc and throw an smp_mb() into the unlock path if CONFIG_ARCH_WEAK_RELEASE_ACQUIRE. > + u16 ticket = val >> 16; > + > + if (ticket == (u16)val) > + return; > + > + atomic_cond_read_acquire(lock, ticket == (u16)VAL); > +} > + > +static __always_inline bool ticket_trylock(arch_spinlock_t *lock) > +{ > + u32 old = atomic_read(lock); > + > + if ((old >> 16) != (old & 0xffff)) > + return false; > + > + return atomic_try_cmpxchg(lock, &old, old + (1<<16)); /* SC, for RCsc */ > +} > + > +static __always_inline void ticket_unlock(arch_spinlock_t *lock) > +{ > + u16 *ptr = (u16 *)lock + __is_defined(__BIG_ENDIAN); > + u32 val = atomic_read(lock); > + > + smp_store_release(ptr, (u16)val + 1); > +} > + > +static __always_inline int ticket_is_locked(arch_spinlock_t *lock) > +{ > + u32 val = atomic_read(lock); > + > + return ((val >> 16) != (val & 0xffff)); > +} > + > +static __always_inline int ticket_is_contended(arch_spinlock_t *lock) > +{ > + u32 val = atomic_read(lock); > + > + return (s16)((val >> 16) - (val & 0xffff)) > 1; Does this go wonky if the tickets are in the process of wrapping around?
