From: Chris Metcalf Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:46:29 +0000 (-0400) Subject: arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab306cae660e524edbeb8889e4e23d3c97717b9c;p=linux-beck.git arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock() This idiom is used elsewhere when we do an unlock by writing a zero, but I missed it here. Using an atomic operation avoids waiting on the write buffer for the unlocking write to be sent to the home cache.
