[PATCH v2 03/17] powerpc/qspinlock: use a half-word store to unlock to avoid larx/stcx.

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2022-11-14 02:36:28
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The first 16 bits of the lock are only modified by the owner, and other
modifications always use atomic operations on the entire 32 bits, so
unlocks can use plain stores on the 16 bits. This is the same kind of
optimisation done by core qspinlock code.
