[PATCH v11 4/4] qrwlock: Use the mcs_spinlock helper functions for MCS queuing

From: Waiman Long
Date: Thu Jan 23 2014 - 23:30:20 EST


There is a pending MCS lock patch series that adds generic MCS lock
helper functions to do MCS-style locking. This patch will enable
the queue rwlock to use that generic MCS lock/unlock primitives for
internal queuing. This patch should only be merged after the merging
of that generic MCS locking patch.
