SubjectRe: [PATCH] locking: Generic ticket lock
Hi Peter,

I wonder, should these atomics be arch_atomic_*(), in case an arch_ or raw_
lock is used in noinstr code? The plain atomic_*() forms can have explicit
inline instrumentation.

I haven't seen any issues with qspinlock so far, and that also uses the
(instrumented) atomics, so maybe that's not actually a problem, but I'm not
sure what we intend here w.r.t. instrumentability.

Thanks,
Mark.
