From fd19f329a32bdc4eb07885e0b3889567cfe00aa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin LaHaise Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2006 14:10:46 -0800 Subject: [AF_UNIX]: Convert to use a spinlock instead of rwlock From: Benjamin LaHaise In af_unix, a rwlock is used to protect internal state. At least on my P4 with HT it is faster to use a spinlock due to the simpler memory barrier used to unlock. This patch raises bw_unix to ~690K/s. Signed-off-by: David S.
