From d3a024abbc438277851c510b51ec9b158821488b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 15:47:44 -0700 Subject: locking: Remove spin_unlock_wait() generic definitions There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics, and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock pair. This commit therefore removes spin_unlock_wait() and related definitions from core code. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
