[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib/genalloc: use try_cmpxchg in {set,clear}_bits_ll
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-genalloc-use-try_cmpxchg-in-setclear_bits_ll.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: lib/genalloc: use try_cmpxchg in {set,clear}_bits_ll
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2023 16:07:03 +0100

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
{set,clear}_bits_ll.  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.

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent
the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

The patch also declares these two functions inline, to ensure inlining.

No functional change intended.
