Subject: [PATCH RESEND 2/2] ucount: Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg() in atomic_long_inc_below()
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 19:41:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250721174227.28002-2-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250721174227.28002-1-ubizjak@gmail.com>
Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchgi() instead of
atomic_long_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in atomic_long_inc_belowi().
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_long_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old"
when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.
No functional change intended.
