[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: iversion: use atomic64_try_cmpxchg)
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     iversion-use-atomic64_try_cmpxchg.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: iversion: use atomic64_try_cmpxchg)
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2022 21:30:11 +0200

Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg instead of
atomic64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in inode_set_max_iversion_raw,
inode_maybe_inc_version and inode_query_iversion. 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, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails, enabling further code simplifications.

The loop in inode_maybe_inc_iversion improves from:

    5563:	48 89 ca             	mov    %rcx,%rdx
    5566:	48 89 c8             	mov    %rcx,%rax
    5569:	48 83 e2 fe          	and    $0xfffffffffffffffe,%rdx
    556d:	48 83 c2 02          	add    $0x2,%rdx
    5571:	f0 48 0f b1 16       	lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi)
    5576:	48 39 c1             	cmp    %rax,%rcx
    5579:	0f 84 85 fc ff ff    	je     5204 <...>
    557f:	48 89 c1             	mov    %rax,%rcx
    5582:	eb df                	jmp    5563 <...>

to:

    5563:	48 89 c2             	mov    %rax,%rdx
    5566:	48 83 e2 fe          	and    $0xfffffffffffffffe,%rdx
    556a:	48 83 c2 02          	add    $0x2,%rdx
    556e:	f0 48 0f b1 11       	lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rcx)
