Subject: mutex: adaptive spin From: Peter Zijlstra <redacted> Date: Tue Jan 06 12:32:12 CET 2009 Based on the code in -rt, provide adaptive spins on generic mutexes.
I guess it would be nice to add another type so you can test/convert callsites individually. I've got no objections to improving synchronisation primitives, but I would be interested to see good results from some mutex that can't be achieved by improving the locking (by improving I don't mean inventing some crazy lockless algorithm, but simply making it reasonably sane and scalable). Good area to investigate though, I think.
