Subject: [RFC] arm: Add for atomic half word exchange
Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 09:39:33 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1122007906.400701432028368414.JavaMail.weblogic@ep2mlwas07a> (raw)
Since 16 bit half word exchange was not there and MCS based qspinlock by Waiman's xchg_tail() requires an atomic exchange on a half word,
here is a small modification to __xchg() code.
