Subject: ipc/sem.c: cacheline align the ipc spinlock for semaphores
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~134
X-Git-Url: https://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=31a7c4746e9925512afab30557dd445d677cc802;p=net-next-2.6.git

ipc/sem.c: cacheline align the ipc spinlock for semaphores

Cacheline align the spinlock for sysv semaphores.  Without the patch, the
spinlock and sem_otime [written by every semop that modified the array]
and sem_base [read in the hot path of try_atomic_semop()] can be in the
same cacheline.
