-/**
- * spin_unlock_wait - Interpose between successive critical sections
- * @lock: the spinlock whose critical sections are to be interposed.
- *
- * Semantically this is equivalent to a spin_lock() immediately
- * followed by a spin_unlock().  However, most architectures have
- * more efficient implementations in which the spin_unlock_wait()
- * cannot block concurrent lock acquisition, and in some cases
- * where spin_unlock_wait() does not write to the lock variable.
- * Nevertheless, spin_unlock_wait() can have high overhead, so if
- * you feel the need to use it, please check to see if there is
- * a better way to get your job done.
- *
- * The ordering guarantees provided by spin_unlock_wait() are:
- *
- * 1.  All accesses preceding the spin_unlock_wait() happen before
- *     any accesses in later critical sections for this same lock.
- * 2.  All accesses following the spin_unlock_wait() happen after
- *     any accesses in earlier critical sections for this same lock.
