Oh, that should teach me to read all patches in the series before starting to comment on them. So ignore my comment on #1. Linus

So, 70% for 4 threads, 61% for 4 threads - does this trend continue tailing off as the number of threads (and cores) increase?

I won't worry too much about contention as trylock is a one-off event. The chance of having more than one trylock happening simultaneously is very small. Cheers, Longman
Hi, Could you share the microbenchmark you are using ? I'd like to test the series on powerpc.
