Subject: [PATCH] epoll: Use try_cmpxchg in list_add_tail_lockless
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2022 19:32:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220714173255.12987-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in list_add_tail_lockless. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after
cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

No functional change intended.
