From 55f036ca7e74b85e34958af3d22121c656796413 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Ziljstra Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 10:07:12 +0200 Subject: locking: WW mutex cleanup Make the WW mutex code more readable by adding comments, splitting up functions and pointing out that we're actually using the Wait-Die algorithm.
