These locks use an atomic variable (->owner) to keep track of the lock state during its lifetime. Field owner actually contains `struct task_struct *` to the current lock owner and it is therefore NULL if not currently owned. Since task_struct pointers are aligned -at at least L1_CACHE_BYTES, low bits (3) are used to store extra state (e.g., +to at least L1_CACHE_BYTES, low bits (3) are used to store extra state (e.g., if waiter list is non-empty). In its most basic form it also includes a wait-queue and a spinlock that serializes access to it. Furthermore, CONFIG_MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER=y systems use a spinner MCS lock (->osq), described |
