Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext4: Use try_cmpxchg in ext4_update_bh_state
Date: Tue,  9 Aug 2022 18:46:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220809164626.8999-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

Use `!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &old, new)` instead of
`cmpxchg(ptr, old, new) != old` in ext4_update_bh_state. This
has two benefits:

- The x86 cmpxchg instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this
  change saves a compare after cmpxchg, as well as a related move
  instruction in the front of cmpxchg.

- atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns the *ptr value to &old when
  cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

This patch has no functional change.
