Merge branch 'lockref' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/g…
…it/s390/linux Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens: "Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the CMPXCHG_LOOP(), with commit d472d9d ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg loop") As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it yields() the current virtual cpu. So we are talking of several thousand cycles. Considering this enabling the lockless lockref variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics. And also some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more. Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call improved performance by 5%." * 'lockref' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390: enable ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF lockref: use arch_mutex_cpu_relax() in CMPXCHG_LOOP() mutex: replace CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX with simple ifdef
