Subject: [merged mm-nonmm-stable] aio-use-atomic_try_cmpxchg-in-__get_reqs_available.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2022 21:56:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220912045636.58A3FC433C1@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: aio: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in __get_reqs_available
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     aio-use-atomic_try_cmpxchg-in-__get_reqs_available.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: aio: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in __get_reqs_available
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2022 18:48:51 +0200

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

Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when
cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
