6 * This is an architecture-neutral, but slow,
7 * implementation of the notion of "decrement
8 * a reference count, and return locked if it
9 * decremented to zero".
10 *
11 * NOTE NOTE NOTE! This is _not_ equivalent to
12 *
13 * if (atomic_dec_and_test(&atomic)) {
14 * spin_lock(&lock);
15 * return 1;
16 * }
17 * return 0;
18 *
19 * because the spin-lock and the decrement must be
20 * "atomic".
21 *
22 * This slow version gets the spinlock unconditionally,
23 * and releases it if it isn't needed. Architectures
24 * are encouraged to come up with better approaches,
25 * this is trivially done efficiently using a load-locked
26 * store-conditional approach, for example.
