    [POWERPC] spufs: streamline locking for isolated spu setup · 7ec18ab9
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    For quite a while now spu state is protected by a simple mutex instead
    of the old rw_semaphore, and this means we can simplify the locking
    around spu_setup_isolated a lot.
    
    Instead of doing an spu_release before entering spu_setup_isolated and
    then calling the complicated spu_acquire_exclusive we can now simply
    enter the function locked an in guaranteed runnable state, so that the
    only bit of spu_acquire_exclusive that's left is the call to
    spu_unmap_mappings.
    
    Similarly there's no more need to unlock and reacquire the state_mutex
    when spu_setup_isolated is done, but we can always return with the
    lock held and only drop it in spu_run_init in the failure case.
