The mutex_trylock() function calls into __mutex_trylock_fastpath() when trying to obtain the mutex. On 32 bit x86, in the !__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG case, __mutex_trylock_fastpath() calls directly into __mutex_trylock_slowpath() regardless of whether or not the mutex is locked. In __mutex_trylock_slowpath(), we then acquire the wait_lock spinlock, xchg() lock->count with -1, then set lock->count back to 0 if there are no waiters, and return true if the prev lock count was 1. However, if the mutex is already locked, then there isn't much point in attempting all of the above expensive operations. In this patch, we only attempt the above trylock operations if the mutex is unlocked.
