Subject: [PATCH] llist: Use try_cmpxchg in llist_add_batch and llist_del_first
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2022 16:49:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220712144917.4497-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
llist_add_batch and llist_del_first. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.

Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when
cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
