[PATCH] raid5-cache: use try_cmpxchg in r5l_wake_reclaim Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in r5l_wake_reclaim. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

[PATCH] raid5-cache: use try_cmpxchg in r5l_wake_reclaim Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in r5l_wake_reclaim. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

[Uros Bizjak]

Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent
the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

No functional change intended.
