Both spin locks and write locks currently do: f0 0f b1 17 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi) 85 c0 test %eax,%eax 75 05 jne [slowpath] This 'test' insn is superfluous; the cmpxchg insn sets the Z flag appropriately. Peter pointed out that using atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire() will let the compiler know this is true. Comparing before/after disassemblies show the only effect is to remove this insn. Take this opportunity to make the spin & write lock code resemble each other more closely and have similar likely() hints.
