From 41fcb9f230bf773656d1768b73000ef720bf00c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:23:11 -0400 Subject: mutex: Move mutex spinning code from sched/core.c back to mutex.c As mentioned by Ingo, the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN scheduler feature bit was really just an early hack to make with/without mutex-spinning testable. So it is no longer necessary. This patch removes the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN feature bit and move the mutex spinning code from kernel/sched/core.c back to kernel/mutex.c which is where they should belong.
