Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] Optimize CAS in __pthread_mutex_lock_full [BZ #28537]
Date: Tue,  9 Nov 2021 16:16:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211110001614.2087610-4-hjl.tools@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211110001614.2087610-1-hjl.tools@gmail.com>

1. Do an atomic load and skip CAS if compare may fail to reduce cache
line bouncing on contended locks.
2. Replace atomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_acq with
atomic_compare_and_exchange_val_acq to avoid the extra load.
