From 16afea0255cf6963eb924d4334cdb5acb9074581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Art Haas Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 14:45:53 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Remove 'volatile' from spinlock_types This is a resubmission of patches originally created by Ingo Molnar. The link below is the initial (?) posting of the patch. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115217423929806&w=2 Remove 'volatile' from spinlock_types as it causes GCC to generate bad code (see link) and locking should be used on kernel data.
