From 15e7e5c1ebf556cd620c9b091e121091ac760f6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 11:27:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7749/1: spinlock: retry trylock operation if strex fails on free lock An exclusive store instruction may fail for reasons other than lock contention (e.g. a cache eviction during the critical section) so, in line with other architectures using similar exclusive instructions (alpha, mips, powerpc), retry the trylock operation if the lock appears to be free but the strex reported failure.
