[PATCH] mutex subsystem, add asm-generic/mutex-[dec|xchg|null].h implementations
[safe/jmp/linux-2.6] / include / asm-generic / mutex-xchg.h
1 /*
2  * asm-generic/mutex-xchg.h
3  *
4  * Generic implementation of the mutex fastpath, based on xchg().
5  *
6  * NOTE: An xchg based implementation is less optimal than an atomic
7  *       decrement/increment based implementation. If your architecture
8  *       has a reasonable atomic dec/inc then you should probably use
9  *       asm-generic/mutex-dec.h instead, or you could open-code an
10  *       optimized version in asm/mutex.h.
