[merged mm-nonmm-stable] ucount-replace-get_ucounts_or_wrap-with-atomic_inc_not_zero.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ucount: replace get_ucounts_or_wrap() with atomic_inc_not_zero()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ucount-replace-get_ucounts_or_wrap-with-atomic_inc_not_zero.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: ucount: replace get_ucounts_or_wrap() with atomic_inc_not_zero()
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2025 16:05:23 +0100

get_ucounts_or_wrap() increments the counter and if the counter is
negative then it decrements it again in order to reset the previous
increment.  This statement can be replaced with atomic_inc_not_zero() to
only increment the counter if it is not yet 0.

This simplifies the get function because the put (if the get failed) can
be removed.  atomic_inc_not_zero() is implement as a cmpxchg() loop which
can be repeated several times if another get/put is performed in parallel.
This will be optimized later.

Increment the reference counter only if not yet dropped to zero.
