Subject: mutex: preemption fixes
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=41719b03091911028116155deddc5eedf8c45e37;p=linux-beck.git

mutex: preemption fixes

The problem is that dropping the spinlock right before schedule is a voluntary
preemption point and can cause a schedule, right after which we schedule again.

Fix this inefficiency by keeping preemption disabled until we schedule, do this
by explicity disabling preemption and providing a schedule() variant that
assumes preemption is already disabled.
