Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: use atomic_inc_unless_negative in sysfs_get_active
Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:07:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5139FEAF.5080200@gmail.com> (raw)
It seems that sysfs has an interesting way of doing the same thing.
This removes the cpu_relax unfortunately, but if it's really needed,
it would be better to add this to include/linux/atomic.h to benefit
all atomic ops users.
