+ * A 'generic' spinlock implementation that is based on MCS locks. For an
+ * architecture that's looking for a 'generic' spinlock, please first consider
+ * ticket-lock.h and only come looking here when you've considered all the

+ * qspinlock relies on atomic_*_release()/atomic_*_acquire() to be RCsc (or no
+ * weaker than RCtso if you're power), where regular code only expects atomic_t
+ * to be RCpc.
+ *
+ * qspinlock relies on a far greater (compared to asm-generic/spinlock.h) set
+ * of atomic operations to behave well together, please audit them carefully to
+ * ensure they all have forward progress. Many atomic operations may default to
+ * cmpxchg() loops which will not have good forward progress properties on
+ * LL/SC architectures.
+ *
+ * One notable example is atomic_fetch_or_acquire(), which x86 cannot (cheaply)
+ * do. Carefully read the patches that introduced
+ * queued_fetch_set_pending_acquire().
+ *
+ * qspinlock also heavily relies on mixed size atomic operations, in specific
+ * it requires architectures to have xchg16; something which many LL/SC
+ * architectures need to implement as a 32bit and+or in order to satisfy the
+ * forward progress guarantees mentioned above.
