Subject: [PATCH] fs: inode.c use atomic_inc_return in __iget
Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 10:49:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273830562.1986.22.camel@localhost> (raw)

Using atomic_inc_return in __iget(struct inode *inode) makes the intent
of this code clearer and generates less code on processors that have
this operation.
   
On x86_64 this patch reduces the text size of inode.o by 12 bytes.
   
    
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>

----
patch against 2.6.34-rc7
compiled & tested on x86_64 AMD X2

I've been running with this patch applied for several weeks with no
obvious problems.
regards
Richard
