Subject: [thisops uV2 00/10] Upgrade of this_cpu_ops V2
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

A patchset that adds more this_cpu operations and in particular RMV operations
that can be used in various places to avoid address calculations and
memory accesses.

Also adds this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() which is a locally atomic version of
cmpxchg and uses that to demo how a lockless, preemptless fastpath for
memory allocation could work. Works good enough so that I can write this
email with that fastpath scheme.

V2 has several enhancements and bugfixes that were suggested.
