Things like the above are icky. How about something like below? I'm not
crazy about it, but there are other similar macros, ie lockref. We still
provide the osq_lock/unlock to imply acquire/release and the new _relaxed
flavor, as I agree that should be the correct naming
While I have not touched osq_wait_next(), the following are impacted:
- node->locked is now completely without ordering for _relaxed()
(currently
its under smp_load_acquire, which does not match and the race is harmless
to begin with as we just iterate again. For the acquire flavor, it is
always
formed with ctr dep + smp_rmb().
- If osq_lock() fails we never guarantee any ordering.
What do you think?
Thanks,

Yes, I am OK with your change. However, I need some additional changes
in osq_wait_next() as well. Either it is changed to use the release
variants of atomic_cmpxchg and xchg or using macro like what you did
with osq_lock and osq_unlock. The release variant is needed in the
osq_lock(). As osq_wait_next() is only invoked in the failure path of
osq_lock(), the barrier type doesn't really matter.
Cheers,
