Subject: no atomic_set/clear_mask
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 17:48:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-106097001001798@msgid-missing> (raw)
I see ia64 doesn't have atomic_set_mask() and atomic_clear_mask()
functions. I'm trying to deal with a page->flags corruption issue (not
yet seen on IA-64, but there's no reason it couldn't be) where page->flags
gets modified nonatomically while another CPU modifies individual bits
atomically with set_bit() or clear_bit().
Would anyone like to take a stab at providing atomic_set_mask and
atomic_clear_mask functions for IA64? :-)
Thanks,
Matt
